That is remarkable of you! I can't tell you how much hate I get when I explain to people that they can overcome such stress related symptoms with meditation, breathing exercises and mental habit breaking. It's a shame so many insist that they are helpless against them, and that meds are the only way.

My doctors actually encouraged me to try alternative methods to get off the meds if I could. They told me try everything I can as meds should be a last resort. 

That's very good advice and I'm glad they said that. I'm a naturalist, so I don't take drugs at all. I use herbs and other remedies if I need to.
