Anxiety Meds: Anti-anxiety medications are used on as needed basis. When used properly there are no withdrawal symptoms. I would suggest speaking to your primary care physician about medication options. Be aware that the meds do not fix an underlying problem. I recommend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when dealing with anxiety issues- it helps develop coping skills and compliments the meds.

Therapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as anxiety or depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.
