There are a lot of options to help deal with stress/anxiety before resorting to medication. Also, from my own experience with anxiety, I think you are right in question a "nurse" diagnosing and prescribing meds to your daughter....I'm not sure how old she is but if she's a child/teen there are other issues such as highter depression/suicide rates with anti anxiety meds, so just be real careful see a real psychiatrist that will devote at least a full hour to her before making any decisions. I'm an advocate for natural remedies as well as doctor prescribed meds but it has to feel right to you and your daughter because it is very trial and error. Anyway, sorry for the rant. I just wanted to tell you that I'll be following you. Hang in there! N.Noelle Dunn....

She didn't like taking the meds and I've found that children have lots of different reactions to psych meds so it's tough to find one that works just right. Fortunately, I was able to hire a "Life Coach" for my daughter...one who specializes in Teen Girls. It's been such a help, but very expensive. How about Alateen? That might be very helpful. There are videos/dvds on dealing with anxiety/stress that may help too and tons of self-help books directed at teen stress as well. I used self-hypnosis cds for quite awhile when I was so stressed at work. I'd put one in the cd player and it would guide me into a relaxed state of mind. Just some suggestions! Wishing you the best as you deal with this situation!

While reading about your daughter and the hesitation you have feeding her mind and body altering drugs I thought about my experience with this exact type of situation. I have a 16 yo daughter who is dealing with coming up in this very complex world, she struggles, mightily, with stress and confusion and hence depression. The Dr prescr. her pexeva and then paxil, man did we have a time with that, not good at all, agression, apathy, exhaustion. None of these character traits were present before the Meds.. So after a ton of research(google, I love you) I found a comprehensive blend of herbals and nutrients designed to balance and align the chemical needs of our bodies. After talking with her Psy we weaned her from the meds., another testament that these drugs are not for everyone( she was so ill). <BR/>This is why I am posting to you. The product is kind of expensive and has to be ordered from New Zealand, but it has changed everything in my daughters life, maybe it can help ya'll. here is the link. <BR/>Good luck to you and yours. <BR/>http://www.xtend-life.com/product/Total_Balance_Unisex_Premium.aspxModGoddsshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897387648335156158noreply@blogger.com
