      I used meditation and guided imagery..listened to a great CD during my meditation time by Bellaruth Naprasak almost every day I was on interferon.

      That helped a lot with my anxiety, and also helped me feel like I was doing something additional to boost my immune system.

      For extreme anxiety, I used (and still do) ativan..1 mg.

      Good luck to you and a big WELL DONE for doing so well on your interferon. It was the long haul that was tough for me, and I ended up quitting interferon at month ten, not due to anxiety or depression, but rather physical problems (my unending cough!)d

      Goodluck with the rest of it!!
