[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 751568, member: 24254"] And I am so glad I set that boundary and walked through my fear!!!! Son had his psychiatrist appointment today, and after describing his anxiety , was told he should be on Ativan. And because I had told him no class 2,3 or 4 controlled substances in my home, he said that he could not take that. He was put on Wellbutrin which is an SSI that also helps with anxiety. What kills me about these doctors is that they don't ask any pertinent life style questions. Both of my kids drink buckets full of coffee every day. If someone told me they had anxiety, I would ask about stimulant consumption, lifestyle choices .I have anxiety and I use breathing exercises , meditation, yoga, and positive self talk to deal with it. My kids don't want to try any of those things and dont want to give up coffee, either, so the solution is a pill. The anxiety my kids describe seems fairly normal to me for their young adult experiences . Anxiety before a job interview that is for a position a little but above the skill level , walking into class 10 minutes late the first day etc . It is normal to feel anxiety in those situations. Rather than learning how to deal with those feelings, they would rather just pop a pill and make it go away . I am soooo glad I stuck to my guns and my son has no controlled substances in our home . As it is things are stressful for me with their narcissistic tendencies. [/QUOTE]
