Do NOT feel bad about needing a medication. I am new to anxiety/panic, within 2 months, and I cannot function well AT all. My OB just prescribed some meds today. If I did not have access to that med, I'd be a train wreck. My job, family life, life in general would be negatively impacted bigtime.

I try to look at it as, what would my life be like without these meds? That doc really had no right to say something like that to you. I fully believe that a person cannot understand what you are going through until they experience it themselves.

Hang in there, we are here for you and we are listening.
