[quote=Anonymous]100% yes! As someone who suffers from anxiety, medication has been the only thing that has helped me. Cognitive behavior therapy did teach me some coping skills, but medicine has been the only thing that has stopped my anxiety and panic attacks. I wish my parents had medicated me as a teen. I suffered so much needlessly because back then (mid-to-late 90s), being in therapy was very hush-hush and seen as such a personal failure for the parent and person in therapy. My one kid has anxiety and we went the medication route. She's on a very low dose (25mg) and it has been great for her. She's much more confident and social when medicated compared to when she was only doing therapy. [/quote]
