Doctor first go to drugs for panic and anxiety are anti-depressants instead of anti-anxiety because of the drug addicts who sell them on the streets. So those of us who need them are sometimes treated like we're drug seekers.

I cannot take anti-depressants. I actually ended up in hospital after second try by my shrink. Ended up they drop my blood pressure and make me more anxious.

I take .25 Xanax at 8AM and 11PM for 10 years. Yes, I would love to not be on drugs. I also use CBT but in the end my brain needs GABA which Xanax helps balance. I have a LIFE and can go to restaurants, fly in airplanes, drive over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge (Google it).
