I am 33m and dealt with anxiety on and off my whole life. Recently it’s come in waves more frequently and been a little worse than usual. Not shocking with all the current events and my job working me nearly to death.

My anxiety peaks in the morning and usually tapers off as the day goes on.

Anyway, it got bad enough last week for me to reach out for help from a psychiatrist.

I ended up having a tele-health FaceTime call for about 10 mins with the doctor. He quickly diagnosis me with general anxiety disorder which wasn’t very impressive obviously.

Long story short he wants to start me on Zoloft 25mg and Buspirone 10mg I believe. 

I am sort of psyching myself out reading the side effects of the meds which sound like they can be worse than my actual anxiety. Wondering why he didn’t start me with one or the other first?

Anyway I know he’s the professional so I am going to call them tomorrow and get some insight on my concerns. Just wondering others personal experiences if they took both at once and if it was more helpful than harmful. I am naturally averse to taking meds if I can avoid it.
