I have an anxiety disorder - wondering if depression isn’t part of this . What if any meds have any of you tried that have been very good for you ?

I have a clinical social worker - I’m talking with her about it on Friday . Not sure she can prescribe meds …not sure if it’s better to try other things - meditation , etc

Avoid all meds if possible. Stick with counseling and breathing through the rough times. Trust me when I say that you really don't want to go down the med route. It just adds to your problems eventually. I am literally fighting for my life because of the damage that they have caused. I would do anything to trade places and have that choice again. Just my opinion and my experience. Do research before taking any medication, you won't regret it.

I agree with you .. I have anxiety - which responds to yoga , breathing , journaling .

Anxiety sucks but it won't kill you, the meds will. I know it sounds hokey but yoga and meditation is all you need. Missing a few nights sleep here and there also sucks but now I would do anything to go back to the way I was before meds and I still don't sleep.
