Taking my first step

[Gobee32]

So I went to see a doctor yesterday and was prescribed medicine for my anxiety. It's crazy that I put it off for so many years convincing myself I could handle anxiety and panic on my own. Day 1 I actually slept better with the trazodone and I am on generic versions for the anxiety, buspirone for the panic attacks and paroxetine to help with the anxiety. I will honestly say I do feel sick physically and of course the anxiety has not magically gone away, but I do feel positive that I am making the change in my life I so desperately needed. I am so thankful I found this forum and knowing I am not alone dealing with this. I'll keep my progress updated as I am sure I will always have anxiety, but I hope moving forward that at some point it will no longer control me.

I hope you feel better soon.
