Question by AGuyFromCleveland: Is it possible to get over an anxiety disorder without medication?
I have had an anxiety disorder for many years, since my teens (I’m now in my 20s). I have gone to therapy and feel like I’m getting better but there are still days and moments when the anxiety comes back full force. Is it possible to ever get completely over an anxiety disorder, especially the social anxiety part, without using medication?

Best (and strongest) medication for a severe panic disorder. always panicking, cant continue conversations, talk being myself, always jumpy and freak out at knocking on my door just to name a few, not meant to be diagnosed. And do NOT mention therapy. Thanks!!
Appreciate the nice stuff, i really do. I just didnt want to be dramatic but it is SEVERE i cannot even communicate. I have 101 great tips, logic, so much more but it is beyond severe and is a mental problem.
So yeah MEDS (you can still answer with tips thx but if you know about meds please write that and or include it very detailed. antiphychotics > antidepressants e.g. its severe.
i have suffered from panic disorder for about three years, and for the first month was on ativan 1mg. i haven’t taken anything since. i have got through it with no meds. but i have gotten to the point where i cant fight them anymore. they are really starting to control my life. my doc is wanting to put me on some medication. i have a very big phobia of pills and the way they make you feel. (a little ocd ) he has prescribed me xanax 1mg to take twice daily with vistaril 25mg as needed. i have not taken any yet. i am scared of the feeling it will give me. scared it will throw me into a attack, even though these are suppose to help attacks.
i guess what my question is…..are these meds going to make me feel funny or woozy.(which i hate feeling like) and if so, what would you recommend taking for anxiety and panic attacks.
I have had obsessive compulsive disorder for about a year now, and have been on Zoloft for about 6 months. How can I manage my disorder besides the medication?
