Anyone here ever try acupuncture treatment for anxiety? If so, I am interested in your experience. I’m considering trying it

I tried it for depression. While acupuncture was calming experience, in the short term, it didn't do much to help my depression.

Everyone, however, is different. I have a friend who suffers from migraines and swore by it.

Give it chance, it might help.

Hi

Yes I have had a lot of acupuncture in the past to help with chronic pain and anxiety. It worked well for pain but I noticed no difference in my anxiety.

I would say give it a go and see if it works.

Hi, I am in my 4th week of trying acupuncture. I am giving it a try as my anxiety and panic are at an all time high. I have suffered for well over 30 years and I am not expecting 4 appointments to be a magic cure. So I will say that I am used to it, it does not hurt, it is relaxing, and I am cautiously hoping for improvement over time.

Gizmofab, I hope acupuncture significantly helps you with your anxiety and panic issues. I'm also glad you're giving the acupuncture a real chance, because some people give up to easily and too quickly.
