If your doctors have prescribed medication to acts as "band-aids" chemically to help balance you while you are learning how to deal with and hopefully recover from your anxiety, maybe you should consider taking it as prescribed. The medication may be like a bandage that is applied to a wound to control bleeding until the cause can be determined and stopped. You are dealing with a serious anxiety disorder and don't seem to be able to successfully handle it on your own. I am so happy you have wonderful children, and you may be doing something very good for them if you improve by taking the medication while you are being treated for your anxiety. My best wishes to you while you are dealing with whether you should take the medication. Hang in and don't give up.

Hi, I'm sorry but I couldn't quite understand what you were trying to say in your last message, but hope you are feeling better than you were at the time you wrote your first post.

I am going through the same thing. I also get lightheaded and racing heart quite often. I am afraid to go out because of these symptoms. I also have two kids and I feel like I am missing out because I am focused on my symptoms. My doctor has prescribed medication, but I am afraid to take it.

I started seeing a therapist, and she keeps pushing meds. I am trying a more natural approach, but I am still getting many symptoms. I don't know what to do.

I am just getting over a panic attack as I type 😬

How long have you've. Doing the counciling and just breath threw it you will be fine I know it's horrible but we are all the same breath x

I have been two times to counseling. How about you? I need to go more often, but sometimes it is difficult to find a sitter for my children. I might start taking Zoloft. I have anxiety just thinking about taking it. I have a sensitive stomach, so I try to avoid medication.

I have had anxiety for a long time, but it had gotten worse within the last 5 months.
