A member asked:

What anxiety medication can i take that doesn't have a side affects of getting cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See doctor: If your anxiety is troublesome enough for you to write, it would be prudent to see a psychiatrist as you may need a combination of counselling and medication. Counter-intuitive as it may seem exercise will help. Try starting your day with 30 minutes of exercise each day. Wish you good health!
