It appears that a lot of people with chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome are overanxious, and a benzodiazepine might be useful.
I have been taking Ativan (4mg day) for generalized anxiety and I haven't noticed a true flareup for some time. Of course, I take 1 pill of any accredited quercetin product as well, so here might be a synergistic benefit there?

Re: Antianxiety meds
Both any accredited quercetin product and Ativan may be helping for different reasons.cjkbme2w wrote:I have been taking Ativan (4mg day) for generalized anxiety and I haven't noticed a true flareup for some time.

You take 4 mg of Ativan once a day? 4 mg at once would knock me out for sure. 1 mg as needed works well for me, but I suppose everyone is different.

alcohol usually works really well for anxiety for me
OK, too lazy to change my signature, but my sympoms have improved significantly, some went away competely. Old sig below.
Age: 27 | Onset Age: 23 | Symptoms: differ from year to year, anal/buttocks pain(especially when moving around/walking), burning when pee every once in a while, muscle tightness after peeing, sometimes but rarely burning after,, but no urgency , i pee about 4-5 times a day. Stomach bloating, hard to pass gas, occasional sharp pain in right side lower abs.
Helped By: alcohol(maybe i am wrong about this one,, helps some symtoms, possibly makes other symptoms worse), water, Beer always cures urethra pains/burning.
| Worsened By: showers, defecation, massage?, stress, winter, early spring, Snapple diet iced tea?.
Makes no difference: sitting(try putting something under back legs of your chair to tilt it slightly), masturbation(2-3 times a day usually),(update, now down to 1-2 times a day), used to ride bike without a seat on for 4 hours some days 3-4 days a week- no problem, spicy foods - no problem, 3-4 cups of black tea a day- no problem
