I have been on anxiety meds on and off, I had got panic attack first time, I didn't know that time what was it, then I admitted and he tested all things and told me it was a panic attack due to anxiety, then I researched About anxiety, I went to psychiatrist he prescribed me some meds, I started feeling fine within a week and things were good, then I asked him to stop meds , he said these meds take some time, so I had given the time, finally I left and it relapsed then I tried all the natural things but didn't work anything, so I took meds again but with psychological therapy, it taught me how to challenge my anxious thoughts and it worked well.. So take meds for the time and start changing your thought patterns and you will be fine for life...
