Thanks Sandy. I have friends who use a lot of Valium. Luckily I don't. The anti-anxiety medication that I was considering is buspirone, which is less potent / habit forming I think. That said, I might give it a miss altogether. The antidepressants are doing a good job at the moment. I have been on them for 6 weeks and hope it won't be for the long haul. I appreciate your message, and would be interested to try the EFT.
