Hello All,

My amazing therapist who has helped me through so many anxiety issues over the last several years finally suggested medication.  I had brought it up as a possibility before but we got through the rut and I would make enough progress to feel good again. Things have been pretty bad for the last few weeks and I broke down at the start of our session and she said she thinks it’s time. That sometimes the boulders are too big to get over the hill on our own and that medication can help. 

I have never been on meds before. I did some reading and of course my anxiety about them went through the roof. Some are addictive, some can take two months to make any real change to you. 

So I come here and ask, for those of you trying to solve your anxiety with the help of medication, any advice? Any experiences you care to share?

I know we are all different and we all have different needs but I’m pretty scared and want to know this can help. 

Thanks!
