Hello, I have tried both. Acupuncture was brilliant but I couldn't afford to keep going. This was through a Chinese doctor. I found immense relief within 10 minutes of the insertion of the needles. The effect lasted for a few days. I was going twice a week for 3 weeks, then once a week. This was last year. Cost $70 per session. I now have a gp who can do acupuncture but it is different. I have an electrical stimulant applied to pressure points on my ears. Then she attaches a tiny patch with a raised metal piece which I press upon when feeling onset of anxiety. Again it works for a few days then stops working. Don't think I'm going to continue with it.
Last year tried hypnotherapy a couple of times. It was to help alleviate past issues. It too helped but again had to stop because of money. Cost $150 per session. Felt immense relief after both sessions. I have just started again but under my gp under a mental health plan. I have only had one session to date and need to do it a few times to have an affect. Cost $70 so won't be able to do more than 3 sessions.
Hope this helps
