Hi maintainin,

I don't know about mild anxiety, but run-on anxiety attacks were what I experienced the first two months of my sobriety. They became so intense that I couldn't sleep for weeks, and I ended up checking myself into a mental hospital for an evaluation.


My suggestion, what worked for me anyway, was talking to doctors and a therapist to find out what would work, rather than trying to figure it out all by my alcoholic little self. I too feared taking AD's, but looking back now I'm glad I stuck with them for a year. Most of my fear was actually admitting that I needed them, and that I had a depression problem. Gawd, us alkies hate admitting crap like that, huh?;-)
