Thanks, Chimney. I've only taken Iboga once, and hopefully not planning to do it again. I now have to decide whether to pursue work and my Master's degree here in New York, or go back to Israel and be part of a community there, as I once was. The latter may be a healthier option for my mental and emotional stability.

It was the cult-like place I was in, not the place I originally went to.

Originally posted by Chimney CBT is the best way to go about for anxiety. Period. Benzo-medication should only be used for small amounts of time. For your sake, Alpha, my recommendation is that you stop taking drugs which mess with your neuro-chemicals. Psychiatry is basically the medical part which deals with imbalance of the above said, so even if a treatment would work - by default - your usage only tumbles down its effects. My professional suggestion.

depends what sort of anxiety and wether it has a trigger. It won't do a thing if you can't actually determine triggers. So if you wake up and anxious, cbt has nothing to offer.

My feeling is that this is something you've had for a while. Some people have a over active amygdala. CBT works great for specific things that cause anxiety like talking to gypsies or having sex with black people.

I would just exercise and meditate and avoid drugs and just accept you are an anxious. person.

That's the point. Finding out the trigger and solving the problem. Regardless if it's reactive or endogenous anxiety.

some anxiety does 't have a trigger. You are just anxious. Thats your default setting. GAD is usually the term given for that type. At least not a trigger you have access to.

Your point being? What does this have to do with what I've said?
