I'm gripped by anxiety at the moment. It just keeps coming in waves. It has been 4 days now. All day and night. I think I am anxious that I'm never going to get rid of this getting of anxiety. I've tried meditation, tapping, been for a run but the nervous feeling just returns immediately.
I have tried SSRIs many years ago for depression and had a really bad reaction including awful anxiety and desperate thoughts so I don't want to take them again. Can a Dr prescribe anything to give me immediate relief from this?

I have just seen the Dr and she prescribed me propranolol. Starting on 10mg but can go up to 40mg. Bit nervous of side effects but will take one. She said it should start to work in a few hours. I really hope it does. She also suggested self referring to healthy minds. Thank you again for everyone replying. I'm going to look at the you tube video when I get home. Sorry we are all in same boat. x
