So don't stop taking the medicaments?

You usually stop cos of side effects. I speak from experience. Been fighting anxiety and depression since 1996.

Same.

Panic attack, take meds, become zombie, stop meds, panic attack.

CBD has been a godsend though. It completely stopped my panic attacks for almost 2 years until just this last weekend. Not sure what triggered it this time.

I have generalized anxiety, no triggers, so I go under SSRIs, anorgasmia, stop. Rinse and repeat.

I stop because I start feeling better and hope I can make it. Or I take a day off for the brain zaps.
