Discuss w/ provider: I don't know how it was prescribed, but you need to ask about this and I'd urge you to seek a CBT therapy referral at that time. Through it you can learn skills that will help you avoid, reduce and manage anxiety that will help in all parts of your lifetime. It can be a great value w/o side effects or w/drawal. Best wishes!
