Written a post about this before, but I’m just wondering if anyone takes medication for their health anxiety and what is it? Thank you!

Hi sweet I didn’t know there was medication for health anxiety but I assume it would just be relaxants they give you for generalised anxiety x

Benzodiazepines Like diazepam , Xanax , Valium . They all work on relaxing the mind and body
