None of us want to have anxiety and all that goes with it, but like any other medical condition (many a lot worse) medication is often the only answer.  We have to play the cards we're dealt in life and do the best we can to ease our symptoms.  There are a lot worse things than having to be on medication for anxiety....so be careful what you wish for!  Be happy that you are healthy in every other way.  You have a choice to take the medication and feel better or continue the way you are.......we're lucky to have this choice.

The medication they have today are really miracle drugs. None of us want anxiety but believe me, many people have it a lot worse in life than just dealing with anxiety.

You should stop fighting the feelings you have and accept it. The fighting just creates more anxiety. Then consider taking the meds just to get yourself in a somewhat controlled state so you can sort things out. It will help and it is a start on the road to recovery.

I know guys :( i was bewilderd for a moment. im working on accepting it..... its jus hard. i consider the medication everyday. . i wish this wasnt so hard to accept. why when i have a infection or bad tooth i can take that medication.... ? ughhhhhhhhhhh i know i will make it. i believe in myself. i jus..... got to accept this.

Hi i jus wanted to take sum time n let u kno ur not alone wit the whole bein afraid of medication thing....I too am the same way and was n ur shoes a year or so ago. I was prescibed zoloft n i let it jus sit in my cabinet for over a month but i knew that was the key to help me cuz after goin to the er and my drs office n all the xrays n blood work, i was only suffering from anxiety but i jus cudnt face it until i was at my worst n wen i say worst, i mean naseous,vomitting,weightloss,no appetite,cudnt b home alone,cudnt breath,sweaty tingling arms,weak,scared,wudnt go out,and the list goes on plus i kno the er got sik of seein me 3 times a day that it was time to jus TRY the medicine. So i had my mom *** over n i cried the whole entire time but i broke a 25mg in half and put that lil pill n my mouth n cried even harder and swallowed it. I then sat there n waited for side effects and cried cuz i was makin my own mind feel side effects. I survived that tho so next day i did it again still cryin n scared but i didnt *** this far to stop now so i continued each day n yes i did have a few side effects but nuthin more bothersome than the anxiety and i continued on till i got to 50 mg.....to make a long story short i felt a relief within a week or so and was mad at myself for not doin it sooner n lettin myself n kids see me suffering the way i was. U deserve to feel better n i kno u will if u try this the drs r tryin to help us but our mind is tellin us otherwise n were so scared but believe me its worth the try please jus try it.....if u have any other questions im always here too k ...good luck u can do this!!!! : )

Hey luv I'm 25 as well and all I want to tell you is tell yourself that anxiety is just a feeling none of what you feel is going to hurt you and that it can be cured you can stop it for good once you put in your head you can stop this for good and keep to it you will start getting better

I think many of us feel because anxiety is more mental than physical...that we should be able to handle it on our own....but rarely can we.  It's an illness that creates some bad symptoms which can be debilitating.  You should get into therapy to help you cope and accept what is, and maybe even find the emotional cause for your anxiety.  Many of us have found the root cause for our anxiety with therapy and have been able to deal with it and ease our anxiety.  Many never know why they have anxiety, and medication is imperative to being able to live a happy and fulfilling life.  Take care.
