Rhodora came to Dr. Tong due to her feelings of anxiety and her racing heart beat. Her traditional Western medicine doctor immediately put her on Xanax and Citalopram (Celexa, SSRI), both of which were ineffective. She began to taper herself off of the drugs as they were causing her to have side effects. After her treatments with Dr. Tong, she feels as if “something has changed” and her anxiety levels have decreased as well as her blood pressure.
