I am a person who believes in meds and medicine in general .I got vaccinated as soon as I could and  take my flu shots regularly .so when people claimed that anti anxiety meds may harm you I was very skeptical  about their opinions and believed in medicine ...I have taken buspiron in the past and it had  mild effect and had no side effects 

Now I decided to give meds a try since my anxiety got severe and the doctor prescribed  effexor    
 37,5 which she claims is mild and easy to get off ...but after reading reviews I am already in panic ...I took only one pill and had horrible side effects ..now I UNDERSTAND why so many people hated anxiety meds 

are there any meds which really work but do not make u suffer and  do not make u regret your choice of taking antidepressants ? I can name buspar but I need soemthing stronger combined with it 

I am so sad and confused right now
