I NEED HELP from a DU Doctor Or Pharmacist

[KansasVoter]

Which is better?

Valium or Xanax??

And will my family doctor prescribe it for "Election Anxiety"??

Others here could use this information also!

1. I'd take both!! With some booze on the side (Just kidding.)

But I definitely am going to get my Rum prescription re-filled. For some beer for the beer chasers.

2. If your "electile anxiety" lasts more than 4 hours

definitely call a doctor!!
:rofl:

4. How about 4 months??? :-)

[DeeDeeNY]

6. Hey, I'm with you!

The past 4 months were bad, but this next week is going to be impossible!!!

3. Neither is better than Vitamin M.

CLEANSING BREATH


This breathing exercise brings in good energy and clears out any negativity we might have accumulated in our body. Keep it light, it’s just for cleansing the body and mind. Over time you’ll realize some other benefits, too.



Method:

1) Sit Full-Lotus, Half-Lotus, or cross-legged. Keep the back straight (use a cushion if you need it).

2) Palms are up-turned and rest at the knees. Thumb and middle finger form a circle.

3) Breathe in fully through the nose and fill your belly with good, light chi.

4) Breathe out fully via the mouth and breathe out negative, dark chi.

5) Repeat until time is up.



Notes:

Feel the in- and out-breath, filling up with the good and expelling the bad. Any waves of the mind will subside shortly.
Keep your attention on the belly, the dantian. You can hear it in the out-breath when you have it right. Be fully aware of your breathing.
Use mental imagery, such as light entering your body on the in-breath and filling your body up from your center, and then blowing out a dark substance.

7. Deep Breathing. Meditation. Reduce Stress. Exercise. THEN

if you need something acutely....

sorry, I can't make a recommendation.

Before taking anything, I try the above or a great calming tincture we make up using Kava and California Poppy.


I can however say this. I have a prescription of Xanax. 30 Tablets last me ONE year. If I feel major anxiety coming on, I take 1/2 tablet and thats all I need. If I have passed the anxiety recognition threshold or am about to fly, I take 1 tablet.

13. 3 Cheers for this video...I needed to see this..thanks...

Really well done and you couldn't have picked a better song. The Dixie Chicks rule!!!

17. I just adore the Dixie Chicks -- I have yet to see their documentary, though

"Shut Up and Sing." They are gutsy and talented artists. I was so happy to use their song!

9. I'm going to have to put my husband on something...

I'm usually the worry freak, but he is totally losing it.

He doesn't think Obama is going to win. I think he has PTSD from 2000 and 2004.

I'm telling him it's in the bag and trying to be positive.

I don't think he'll be able to relax until it's a done deal.

I think many Democratic babies will be conceived the night of the election. Sex is a good de-stresser. ;)

10. I can understand how he feels

After 2000 and 2004, I don't think a lot of us can relax, no matter what the polls or common sense say.

14. I'm pulling a Cindy McCain and stealing pills...

the only diff will be that my "charity" will be my mom's medicine cabinet!!!!
