Afraid of taking medications for anxiety

Hello, I am going through so much anxiety about being dependent on the numerous medications that my psychiatrist prescribed. I have schizoaffective disorder. One day it just happened and I was diagnosed in 2020. Just wondering if anyone out there feels the same way. I find myself pacing out of anxiety.

I have schizoaffective disorder. At one end there is schizophrenia and at the other end there is depression and mood disorder. I want to reduce the amount of drugs I am dependent on.

You are brave. You are brave to reach out to people here. You are brave to confront your fears and anxieties. We understand what it's like to feel dependent and not free from medical help But sometimes being brave is getting help. Take care. You are brave

Thank you so much for replying. I am trying my best not to worry but it won't go. I have to talk to my psychiatrist soon.
