Medication for anxiety
I've had anxiety for as long as I can remember (I am 19) but I have finally visited a therapist. I was diagnosed with GAD, panic disorder and borderline OCD. I was prescribed (Edited by HalliwellSister for mentioning specific meds name) which is a seratonin reuptake inhabitor. Since then, my anxiety have become way worse because am so scared of taking an antidepressant...I don't know if I should make my own choice about it and not take it...or listen to the doctor...Can anyone on medication talk to me?
@Inferno94 I am now 35 and believe me I know what you're going through it took me quite a few medications switches to finally find the right one for me don't be afraid to tell your doctor honestly how you're feeling and that you want to try something else best thing to do is do your own research just Google the medication you're on and WebMD has actual patient reviews of it and then I would look at some of the other magic medications that are similar to the one you're taking and see what said about those as well good luck it's a tough road but it's worth seeking help
Remember that there is no a miracle pill from anxiety. The way to overcome anxiety is through knowledge, not through a pill. When I feel my anxiety is playing up, I have to sleep more, exercise more or do whatever makes me happy. Talking to my close friend helps me a lot.

@Inferno94
your post spoke to me because I can remember when I was first put on anti-anxiety medications I was weary, but I found after i took them for a few weeks they helped me a lot, what is your experience with the medication so far?
