My prescribing doctor told me it would take 6 months for my brain to go back to baseline before started anti anxiety meds, why drs here say few weeks?

Brain: Discrepancy in opinions can occur for many reasons. The most likely cause is te fact that the physician you are seeing has valuable information from your history and physical examination that none of the doctors here have. In addition his experience with similar patients entitles him to use a frame of comparison broader than the physicians that are not able to see you or examine you via healthtap.
