anxiety is a huge problem

[RobertMac]

im 18 years old and I had numerous blood test done including for diabetes metillus, diabtes insipidus ,sjogren's syndrome but everything came out normal.
my symptoms I currently have are:
anxious
nervesness
sweaty palms
cold hands/cold feet
rapid heart rate
irratibilty
insomnia
dry mouth
my doctor told me that I have anxiety which I believe is correct so she put me on a dosage of Xanax,this has relieved alot of my symptoms but this does not relieve my dry mouth and because of my dry mouth I get really bad breath in the mornings and I usually wake up with an extreme bacteria build up of some sort at the back of my tounge, is this because of the lack of sufficient saliva flow being caused by anxiety? my mouth is not dry dry but it feels like sticky and not like how it used to be somebody help me out here!! please....

For once I read that a dr will give Xanax (also avail G) instead
of the expensive anti-depressants that have all kinds of stuff
that they forget to monitor. Do not use anymore than 1mg 4xday.
Brain can adjust to it too much & become mentally dependant.
Once stablilized, you can adjust dose. Try to really work on
what the source is. B-100 helps brain also to adapt w/ moods.
Junk food/soda/family problems need to be adjusted. May even be
hormone balance do to your age. Try to find what your real
trigger is. As far as mouth/tongue/breath, brush well w/ a baby
sz brush in back of throat & rinse brush w/ hot water then put
in a glass of some water & neuk 1 min in micro to kill germs.
Try Biotene mouthwash especially P.M. It's alcohol free.
Alcohol, even in Listerine dries mouth more & makes bacteria
form faster. Biotene toothpaste also helps to coat teeth so
particles don't cling. Dry mouth can be a signal for an under-
lying problem so if it persists, talk to doc again. Snoring can
dry you out. An immune disorder can start w/ this symptom. I'm
guessing it's your anxiety. Increase water to 8 glasses a day.
That's why you make saliva. Sugar-free gum or sucking on
something like butterscotch candies will help train glands to
make more saliva. Buy the Biotene & try it. Really works & you
can even put it in a small spritzer to spray a squirt on tongue
during day. You're young & pretty smart to know so early that
you need to fix a problem. Give yourself a big pat on the back.

Are you mouth breathing or sleeping on your back?  You might have a blocked nose causing mouth breathing which leads to dry mouth esp overnight.  Try hayfever medications and sleep on your side.  Good luck.
