Yes I started seeing a therapist and put on Xanax prn for anxiety, along with an opiate to help control the extreme pain. The counseling has helped the most but controlling the pain has also decreased the attacks.

My anxiety triggers the pain at times. When I am in extreme pain from another reason I become depressed.
