Anxiety
I’m struggling hard with my anxiety due to a medication side effect. Tardive dyskinesia. So my p doc and I are weaning me off it. I’m anxious, I can’t help it and my rescue meds don’t exactly help anymore. I want this med out of my system asap!! What are some coping mechanisms you use to get through anxiety/panic attacks?

I'm sorry you are experiencing such severe side effects.
I hope that you feel better soon 💚
What works for me is, counting my breaths slowly, until my heart rate calms down.
Listening to music, to stop the overthinking.
Reminding myself, I'm safe, this will pass, it can't hurt me 💚
@courteousTurtle8490 Tardive dyskinesia is a very severe side effect — I’m really sorry you went through that. You might consider asking your doctor about some herbal or traditional treatment options. If you’re having trouble sleeping, there are also non-pharmacological treatments available; you could ask your pharmacist about those as well.
As far as I know, mentioning active ingredient names is not allowed, so I couldn’t use specific names.
And i'm not a yoga fan ,but it really helps.
