A member asked:
Is their any natural or less strong medication i can take for anxiety? i have been prescribed medication from the doctor before but it was too strong
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Which medication: I cannot answer your question unless i know what medication you are taking. In general, anxiety medications should only be a temporary measure. Counseling, meditation and other forms of behavior modification should be considered long term solutions to dealing with stress rather than medication.
