Don’t panic! Take Clonazepam.

Living Well with Anxiety is different from most websites on anxiety. This is your website, written by a nurse practitioner who has not only counseled individuals with anxiety conditions but has experienced high anxiety and has learned ways to reduce anxiety to manageable levels and teach them to you.

Living Well with Anxiety provides the type of information about anxiety you may not find out from a doctor, pharmaceutical company, patient organizations, or in other websites about anxiety. In this website I talk honestly with you about the traditional medical approaches to anxiety, including the drugs like clonazepam that are prescribed for specific conditions and their risks. But this website is really about living with anxiety and the kinds of self-care measures you can take to reduce and manage it.

In this website, you’ll find out things your doctor may not tell you about risks, diagnoses, drugs, and alternative approaches that work to reduce anxiety. You’ll also hear the voices of real people just like you who have struggled with anxiety and learned to deal with health-care practitioners, tried different approaches, suffered setbacks, and enjoyed successes. Each person quoted in this website expressed a determination to share his or her own story, difficulties, ideas, advice, and hope with you. That’s why you’ll be able to recognize your own experiences, fears, and frustrations, and be touched and moved by the incredibly honest and direct stories of others who have learned to live well with anxiety. Above all, you’ll know you are not alone in your struggle.
