Tell your physician.: Please make sure to let your doctor know - especially if you feel more anxious or agitated on the medications. Your treatment may not be optomized at this point. You can also talk to your doctor about adding in acupuncture as it can be a very effective adjunct.

Stay active: Exercise is a great way to relieve stress. Your body releases endorphins during exercise, which can help you feel calm. If you exercise 30 - 60 minutes a day, your stress levels can improve. When stressed, take 5 slow, deep breaths with your eyes closed, then roll your shoulders forward 5 times, then back 5 times. This will slow your heart rate and release tension in your neck and shoulders.
