I was prescribed the same. I only took the benzo for the first two weeks and found it did make things worse. But that's just me. They really work for some people for a small window of time.

I'm currently on a small dose of an SSRI and honestly I hate it. I'm only taking it because my family and MD think it's the best for my anxiety and constant "obsessive" thoughts about PCS (I think too much about my thoughts and how PCS has affected me if that makes sense.) They actually want me to bump up the dose. Tried for two days and swear I thought I was going insane. I have constant anxiety. I'm terrified now that I will always be like this because the weeks keep coming without much change.

I'm in therapy but keeping getting passed to other therapist because they don't know what to say or do. Plus, I can't pinpoint what causes my anxiety so it makes it very hard.

I would like the opportunity to try this things without meds just to see where I am. Super"s response above mine is perfect.
