it’s not as bad as you think, you just schedule an appointment w your regular doctor and tell them that you’ve been experiencing a lot of anxiety, then you go and mine gave me a survey abt what makes me nervous, then you go in and talk about it and they say you can try therapy or medicine, if you tell them it’s mostly anxiety they’ll prob reccomend lexapro at a low mg and prescribe you another appointment in a month

Anxiety medications increase the production of seratonin in your brain. They’re relatively inexpensive. There are a lot of anxiety medications out there. I’m currently on Zoloft, a brand name for sertraline. I got mine by asking my primary doctor for one.

Roughly how much do you pay between your prescription and psychiatry appointments?
