so its been suggested a couple of times that i start on medication for my anxiety (GAD) but I've always been dead set against it. Then when i sat my first lot of A-level exams in january i got poor results, i'm thinking the anxiety could be to blame for this. thats not the main problem though since the results my confidence has taken a true knock. now i dont actually belive i'm good enough etc... In the past week it has again been suggested that i start on medication. i have an apointment booked with my GP to ask her opinion in the new light, but i'm worried I'll form an addiction or have bad side effects. Has anyone else who has been on any form of anti-anxiety medication (mainly some form of SSRI as thats always what has been suggested in the past) got any advice/ comments on how they work or if they work. it would be really helpful, i dont want to go in blind, but equally i dont want to not do anything about it because i dont think it will work.
