My friend had 2 betablockas and was climbing the walls
……. some medications do exactly what is 'says on the tin'. My Dad had medication which made him restless, we had to walk miles as he was unable to sit still
. Not everyone reacts as expected. Prozac was supposed not to have side effects but I found some

I have tried many things to ease anxiety. CBT - as useful as a chocolate fire guard, relaxation therapy - helped at the time but eventually I required medication otherwise I would be off a high building. Along with ADs my mental health is, more or less, under control unless I take on 'too much'. I would love another dog but responsibility causes high anxiety, it broke my heart to have to take the cats into rescue
- even medication didn't help ……
Some find yoga helpful. Some walk etc.. I have nights when I can't get to sleep and it's annoying - DH never has difficulty sleeping
even when I'm fidgety ……….
Cubagirl - what would be a 'last resort'? Maybe try something sooner rather than later …….. antihistamines are non-addictive because the body excretes them - they do what is required in bringing allergic reactions 'down' - I use them, or travel sickness tablets, if I need a good night's sleep. If we are on holiday when I tend to sleep less well, I buy Kwells or something in order to have good quality sleep. Taken early enough in the evening I don't get 'hung over'
