Anti-anxiety drugs, medicine and other therapy

Our research, which has involved over 147,353 anxiety sufferers worldwide, has shown that the therapeutic affect of anti-anxiety drugs / medication is almost non-existent.

In fact, we do not have records of anyone who has said that they have taken an anti-anxiety drug which has cured their disorder... NO ONE!

There are drugs available which can 'numb' anxiety, but ultimately, the sufferer has to face the anxiety again when the drugs are withdrawn.

Medication which doctors call 'anti-anxiety drugs' such as Prozac are actually SSRI medications. This means that they help to maintain a healthy level of the hormone Serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is the 'happy' hormone. Panic disorders aren't caused by low levels of Serotonin, so why on earth would doctors prescribe it? Because they don't have any other options!

Sedatives like Diazepam (valium) are commonly prescribed for anxiety disorders but why would they help? They are meant to be prescribed for injuries to relax muscles and commonly give anxiety as one of their common side-effects in the instruction papers that come with them. All these so-called anti-anxiety drugs achieve is to make you feel drowsy and unwell. They may temporarily knock the edge of your anxious feelings but the side effects and withdrawal problems are 100 times worse than the anxiety itself.

We have helped people who are on cocktails of drugs and people who have never used them, BUT, they all have one thing in common... they become well again without using any anti-anxiety drugs and that is what is most important.

It's all too easy for a doctor to write a prescription for an anti-anxiety drug, but what is that medication achieving? In some cases dependency, some side effects, withdrawal problems, but ultimately, just a numbing of the symptoms without addressing the actual cause.

"Before I found The Linden Method, I was taking Diazepam and Prozac. I was taking up to 50 mg of Valium every day. I felt ill, like a zombie, sick and couldn't sleep. After 4 weeks of doing The Method, I reduced the Diazepam to below 5 mg a day and now after 3 months I am 100% medication and free of panic attacks.

I can't tell you how this method changed my life. If you don't try it for yourself, you are crazy! There is no anti-anxiety drug, doctors just tell you that to get you out of their offices!"

There is absolutely no reason to take anti-anxiety drugs, it's like taking a powerful, mind-altering drug in order to stop you from biting your nails - it would be complete madness.

Anxiety disorder and nail biting are directly related when it comes to the way they are created, stored and perpetuated in the subconscious mind and therefore responds incredibly successfully to our method.

Don't let anyone try to talk you into taking an anti-anxiety drug, it's not the solution, it's counter-productive and can be very expensive.
