Acupuncture for acute and standard GAD

[stroppytom]

Has anyone tried acupuncture as a treatment for anxiety? I'm keen to know if it helped you. A new acupuncture service has opened nearby and the practitioner is an elderly gent from China so I would imagine he knows his stuff. At this point I am willing to try anything.

Dear Stroppytom~

While I have no personal experience beyondblue puts out a publication that sets out how effective a lot of different treatments for anxiety are. Acupuncture is listed on page 71

In addition if you Google the following:

you will find links to various threads that mention this subject.

I hope this helps
