Anxiety medication: What have you tried, and what actually helped?

Hey everyone, how are you feeling today?

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to treating anxiety. Some people find relief through therapy, while others need medication, or a mix of both. But figuring out what works can take time, and the trial-and-error process can feel overwhelming or even discouraging.

💬 Let’s open up:

• Have you ever tried medication for anxiety? What kind?
• Did it help with your symptoms, or bring side effects that were hard to manage?
• Did you switch medications over time? Why?
• What would you say to someone who's just starting out and feeling unsure?
