So i have had anxiety for over 8 years. Been having a bad episode this past week. Anxiety everyday. I just woke up one day and felt weird. I think its called derealization. Where things feel not real. I dont know how i got like this. I felt this before but its bad this time. I've had for a week. I'm on meds but dont know if i need them changed. Only time i feel relaxed is when I take lorazepam at night. During the day it's hard. Any have this? Have any tips? I have an appointment with a therapist in a few days

I have found that something that brings fast relief and helps the meds kick in faster is the Valerian, in drops or pills. I know that in some regions the extract of passion flower is like it's equivalent. I know it's a herb, not heavy medication, but it aids the body by catalyzing the process.

I've herd it might lower the blood pressure, but haven't noticed this on myself.
