I was wondering if anyone has had any experiences they would like to share about using accupunture to treat anxiety.

    hate to say it but for anxiety it hasn't been shown to be more effective than a placebo (in studies and in my experience as well), but I will say that when I tried it it did teach me how to do basic meditation because you have to sit there awhile and just relax while the needles go to work. I can also report that for some things acupuncture does work well, just not for anxiety.
