I have researched a lot about the various types of medications available, CBT, meditation, etc.., I wouldn't just blindly try something the doctor prescribes. The problem with the medications, as I've tried a few, weight gain, no energy and just blank feeling. Even though the anxiety is hard to deal with, specifically social anxiety, the anxiety is an energy source for me, motivates me to hit the gym, hike, etc.. so it's a love hate relationship for me. I've always had this issue w anxiety so I do believe it's a chemical imbalance, so I'm not totally against medication
