I would like to speak to someone regarding medication for anxiety (ie. xanor). can i go to my gp for this or do i need to see someone specific?

Can see GP but...: A GP/internist/Family Doc can prescribe meds for anxiety but these are habit forming and don't cure you. While drugs are OK for occ. use I advise counseling, exercise, meditation, a B complex with the L-5MTHF form of folate, Magnesium Taurate or Glycinate, herbs like Ashwagandha, Valerian and Tulsi tea. Biofeedback devices like Heartmath's emWave can help too: https://www.heartmath.com/about/
