Would you ever take anti anxiety medication?

[Excited Penguin]

I see the discussion has veered into alternative medicine. I, for one, just for the record, don't support that and I didn't mean to say that "normal" medicine doesn't help people. I was only referring to my own situation - I was answering the OP, therefore. I think that in some cases people don't need medication to deal with stress, they just need will and a different perspective. We are more resilient and resourceful than we think. Of course, there are cases when nothing else but medicine will do - I'm not denying that. I was only referring to far simpler and easier to deal with instances of slight depression, anxiety and so on.
