I was seeing someone for my anxiety...and have been prescribed pristiq for it and depression...to be quite honest though I don't know if I am "clinically depressed"...or ever have been...I think I may have been misdiagnosed in that area...mind you, the anxiety and the boozing is making me quite sad...here we go with the chicken and egg thing again.
I also have been prescribed Ativan for extreme anxiety, which I stay away from unless it gets pretty bad.

I am definitely trying to explore every avenue possible to deal with the anxiety. I am working on a CBT book on my own at the moment and have lots of books on it by Claire Weekes and David Burns.
I will definitely start looking into yoga and meditating as I hear these are great for anxiety and panic.

I hope everything works out for you in the end nandm.
How have you been doing with your sobriety/anxiety?
