Anxiety Medication... anyone with experience?!


Question:

Anxiety Medication... anyone with experience?

My entire life i have dealt with anxiety..im really shy.. but ive alway been hesistant to bring it up to the doctor or make an appointment for it b/c i dont want people thinking im just doing it for the drugs or something! Problem is... im not depressed or anything.. i love my life.... so counseling isnt an issue.. i truly just think i probalby have social anxiety disorder....

heres some examples:
1) At work i get really nervous to answer the phone to customers all the time b/c im scared co-workers are overhearing the convo and will judge what i say

2) I get extremely extremely nervous meeting old friends from my past... something that should be a really enjoyable experience makes me so nervous for the days leading up to it

3) Meeting new people is my worse nightmare.. i jsut prefer to be alone and not make new friends... i know.. that sounds terrible!

has anyone dealt with anxiety before? How did you bring it up to your doctor? Did medication help?


Answers:

It DOES sound like you have some anxiety issues. Please don't be afraid to tell the doctor, he will help you either with medication or counseling. I have a family member with anxiety issues so I completely understand! My family member is on medication and it has helped them wonderfully, so give it a shot! Good Luck!
