Hi everyone,

So I have a generalized anxiety disorder which has been pretty bad for a year now. It leaves me feeling sick the moment I wake up and pretty exhausted battling with my negative intrusive thoughts as soon as I wake up, started having really bad nightmares too. I've tried quitting alcohol, meditation, yoga, the gym (high impact running), self-care and nope it still won't budge and sometimes the negative thoughts and physical symptoms come back 1000 times worse than the last. I've contacted my gp, but does anybody know much about medication, is there anyway it can be taken safely? I've only read pretty negative things about it. I'd appreciate people thoughts.
