Go find a life coach or therapist that will teach you relaxation and stress management skills. If you acquire these skills, you can likely get off meds for good. While you are in training you may learn some unexpected triggers to the stress and how to master them.

Dr Ferguson is correct. Find a cognitive behavioral therapy. Consider biofeedback therapy. Do meditation. Aerobic exercises
