Did you talk to your pharmacist about taking advil cold and sinus AND sudafed at the same time? Do they not contain the same decongestant? Just worried you might be getting too much pseudoephedrine. I *believe* pseudoephedrine can also make you feel jumpy and anxious, especially if you get too much of it.

There are other ways to deal with anxiety than drugs, but they require work, commitment and the help of a counselor or therapist. You can also learn to meditate, lots of online resources to help with that and there are many types of meditation if you happen to be one of the people that believe meditation can not coexist with Christianity. Meditation does not have to be Buddhist meditation, though many Christians do believe that Buddhist meditation CAN coexist with their beliefs.

None of these are quick fixes and may not even totally relieve your anxiety symptoms, but they may make it easier for you to cope with them and not let them rule your life.

Best of luck finding your way.
