Does anyone here take anxiety meds (or used to)? Do you have any suggestions on what meds have the least amount of side effects, or on what you don't suggest?

I have an appointment later this week to talk to the doctor about anxiety meds, but of course having been on different psych meds before I am aware that there's the possibility of it screwing my life up further. Would appreciate any advice or experiences if you guys wanted to share them.

I was on them for a while. I think the key is to find a low dose of something that you can comfortably tolerate without them knocking you out or altering you too much in any way. And then ideally transition back off them if you can. I was on Celexa/Klonopin for quite some time, and I had to go through a really gentle, long-drawn out weaning-off process in the end, but it all worked out.
