I am high functioning with anxiety. I get nauseous a lot and it gets worse with more intense anxiety I find. I have never actually puked, but I tend to get severe nausea in stressful situations like presentations, sometimes tests, and things like that. Recently I have worked on myself through some books and normally just feel the fear and do it anyways. I straight up lean into my feelings of anxiousness and sometimes it gets rid of it sometimes it just leads me to feel in control. Despite these challenges, i'm a junior in college with a 3.6 gpa, i'm in a frat and have a good social life, and I can normally get my shit done. I have IBS which I think is the cause of my stomach pain partly. Stress triggers my IBS pain (I guess) and that is why I think I may be getting this stomach pain. I've heard anti-anxiety meds can lead to ED and sexual problems which I am worried about, and I don't think I can drink alcohol on them. I also do not want to be on drugs the rest of my life so I am hesitant to get started.  My questions are:

1. Do the drugs (like SSRI's) have long lasting effects. If I use them for 3-6 months then quit will they have effects even after I go off.
2. Can I just learn to deal with the nausea/anxiety and eventually it might go away? I've been dealing with this for around 1.5 years now
3. If you've had similar issues, what did you do to get better

TLDR: I have anxiety that induces nausea and am hesitant to go on drugs.  I just want the numbered questions above answered
