Anxiety Treatment: Let me be frank. The best treatment is not the commonly used 'anxiety' meds. These do not treat, or prevent or cure anxiety. They are significantly addicting.
But, there are medications that work to prevent any anxiety that are not addicting and are very safe to take. They just take a few doses to start working.
Anyone with the disease of addiction should be happy that your docs care about you.
