Anti anxiety medication?

Question:

What side effects do they have? What do they alter in your brain chemistry? Does it CHANGE the way you are or your personality? Just a little afraid of taking this option for treatment if it means the meds changing me and making me into a perpetually NON-CHALANT person with no feelings.

Answers:
Anti-anxiety meds don't change who you are or your personality in any real way. But when you can't stop obsessively thinking about -- and getting yourself all worked up over -- something that happened 20 years ago. . . well, they can help you stop your mind from spinning out of control and caring WAY TOO MUCH about something you really don't give a crap about. But they don't change how you feel about your family or your dog or your favorite TV show. You still have the full range or normal healthy emotions -- they just help keep you better within that range.

meds effect everyone different, but if your stressing over this without even trying your prescribed pill then it sounds like you need it.
