I hope the "anxiety meds" you take aren't from the benzodiazepine family (Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan, Valium, etc.) If they are, they are only intended for short-term usage, i.e., two weeks or less. If taken consistently, day in day out, for longer than that, even if you're taking a small amount and it's prescribed by a doctor, you can develop a dangerous dependency.

If that is the type of medication you're taking, I'm the author of The Benzo Book, and in it there's information that can help you sort this out. It's available online, but if yo can't afford to buy a hard copy, you can download a free copy at thebenzobook dot com.

OP, listen to this person. My evidence is only colloquial, but benzos are no fucking joke.

I checked and they aren’t, I take fluoxetine (Prozac) for long term uses. Thank you for informing me on the subject though! I’ll check out the book for more information about different medications. Thanks again^^
