What's your review on anxiety meds?

You know your body. you know whether or not they work best for you. I'm a natural person myself and would rather let my own body work things out, that way, next time I need help - I come to the rescue, not antibiotics.

Anxiety medication can be very helpful for some people, but not for others. It depends on a lot of factors: the medication, the dosage, the person taking it, the level of their need for help, if they're seeing a counselor to help in other ways. In general I would say that having an open conversation with your doctor about anxiety medication is the best way to go.

While they certainly can help in some situations, they are ultimately a crutch, and potentially addictive. Talk to a mental health care professional about the pros and cons of a decision to take meds.

I don't have any reviews since I never experienced anxiety before so I think another experienced listener can help you

They could be both good and bad. It depends on the person though weather or not they might work or not.

I found some to be helpful and others not to be. For me, the most helpful anxiety meds are long-term ones that build up in the blood-stream as a result of taking them every day. A lot of times these are also anti-depressants--for example, Zoloft, Lexipro, etc. I found that benzodiapenes--short-acting meds that are only taken as needed--were significantly less helpful. They would help for an hour or so, but then I would just feel tired. I started building up a tolerance to benzodiapenes very quickly, which eventually led me to take a dangerously high dose. I do not recommend benzodiapenes.

They do 50% you have to put the remaining hard work in yourself. It's all worth it in the end. Surviour

That really depends on the person. I take an anxiety medication since I know I need it to stay calm. Others may be able to deal with their anxiety through relaxation techniques and support and not need them.

It's always important to try and focus on yourself and self growth before seeking medical help I personally think. If you have tried everything you feel you can do within your power to help your anxiety then of course medication could be the next option. I don't think it is the best though.

I personally believe that anxiety medications can be helpful in some cases, but can also be harmful sometimes. I am not the biggest fan of them when it comes to ones that change your personality, but that is just simply my opinion.
