I got to the point where I could no longer live with anxiety, I chose medication over ending my life, I know that sounds dramatic but it was that bad. The side effects of the medication are nothing compared to extreme anxiety.

I am on meds also, it's the anxiety...

I have been on 200mg a day for two weeks now and anxiety has gone, I still have flashbacks and trouble sleeping as well as increased tremors, teeth chattering all the time, but all of this is better than Anxiety.

If it didn't scare him he' on medication or a liar,
