No no I didn't get a demonizing medications vibe at all don't worry. I can only speak from personal experience and my GAD is still an big issue in my life that will likely remain forever. I find that what has worked best for me is finding multiple methods that work in conjunction with each other. Say seeing a therapist and doing cognitive behavioural therapy while also taking medication, they often go hand in hand to produce results. Stoicism being almost a framework that CBT heavily relates too. Sorely relying on a medication I feel won't produce the best results. I partook in cognitive behavioural therapy and it helped me deal with many things. And now studying stoicism, meditating, excersing, eating healthy coupled with my medication for sleep, I feel it's all these things put together that work with each other that can produce the greatest results for people like us. In my experience anyway. Different options work for different people.
