Will Medication Fix Your Anxiety? Here Is My Experience…


Listen Later

Many people suffering from anxiety have been conflicted about using medication at some point. I know I was.

For years, I resisted taking medication and relied on alternative therapies. But the anxiety persisted, and I found myself at a crossroads.

It wasn't until I got into medication that my journey took a turn.

That’s why I have decided to open up about my experiences with anxiety meds - the good, the bad, and everything in between.

I share how medication served as a crucial support while I learned to manage my anxiety more effectively through other means.

One of the primary fears surrounding anxiety medication is dependency and withdrawal. But there are practical steps to address these concerns that I will share in the episode.
