So I’ve suffered from health anxiety for the past years and last year was the worst (for obvious reasons) this year I decided that I finally needed help of a psychiatrist, Somehow the symptoms I had vanished like a way of making me believe that I’m sane and I don’t need medication?? Is my anxiety acting up and trying to convince me to not kill it? Lol anyway. I’m scared to start the pills because I’ve heard a million stories of withdrawals and how these pills literally made people’s life a living hell after they stopped the medication. I’m supposed to start taking (lexapro) and (Xanax) on small dosis, the Lexa is supposed to be for a year while the Xanax just for a couple of months, I don’t know what to do, I’m really scared to start the medication, has anyone else had experience with this? Does the good counterbalance the bad? I know everyone is different and everyone reacts to medicine in different ways I just would like different perspectives from people. The doctor said that this is a normal fear because I have anxiety but still it is something to take into account!
