I began seeing Anna Dolopo around mid-2017, while being treated for anxiety and insomnia. It’s still unclear as to the cause of my problems; possibly a drug interaction, a thyroid condition or a nutrition or digestion issue. I was being treated with one psychiatric medication after another. None of it worked and many caused horrible physical side effects.

​

Anna treated me (with acupuncture) for the anxiety and sleep, but mainly to help me tolerate the prescribed medications. I know that I was difficult to treat since my baseline kept fluctuating with the change in drugs.

When I finally decided to get off the last of the drugs (Xanax and Seroquel), Anna helped me tremendously with the weaning and kick-back symptoms. In addition to the worsening anxiety and insomnia, physical problems include back and legs pains, stomach pains, headaches and body aches. Acupuncture treatments especially helped when I started experiencing constrictions in my chest and esophageal area, especially when eating. After a few treatments, the chest tightness and squeezing went away completely.

​

Anna is such a caring person. She helped me to weather the tough times, and taught me the power of having a positive outlook. I am a firm believer in her acupuncture treatments. I know the symptoms that I had were caused by taking man-made drugs. I am much better now, and credit Anna and acupuncture with helping me to maintain my health.
