The low doses of the meds may be working. My coping style has changed a bit for the better. The root of the issue causing the anxiety hasn’t been fixed, but my reaction has been less intense, which was most harmful to myself. So yay for me!
My reactions to these meds, though, are not exactly what they are supposed to be doing. I am feeling much more generalized anxiety while on anti anxiety meds.

But, I’ll settle for the improvement in my response to the trigger.
