I’m considering starting anxiety meds. I would love to here from personal experience how meds have helped your life and any side effects you’ve had.

Just want to feel more prepared, informed before I speak to my GP.

Thanks!

@Blondebakingmumma well done for going to the gp. I know it's a big step.
Like I said it took a while for mine to kick in but when it did I slowly started to notice it. My mind felt more organised. Like a messy room that had been tidied. Also part of my anxiety was ocd constantly cleaning my house and washing my hands and that all went away. To the point I actually missed having that drive to clean my house but on the plus side the normal mess of the house wasn't a problem for me anymore.
Good luck

Fluoxetine really helped me with obsessive thought- I cane off it for a few months and became irrational again so I have started taking it again.

All it does is level my mood a bit, stuff bothers me but only for a moment, I no longe dwell, I can live and let live, let it be etc.

It's also increased my confidence.

Wouldn't ever recommend going over 20mg a day though
