H carry, Sounds like you are pretty down on yourself,and reaching out for answers that, i have found is with a professional that has knowledge of medication for antidepressents and panic disorders,which include anxiety. I was very negative also about seeing a psycyatrist/pshycologist until i realized the important role each one has. a psycologist listens and with education has the knowledge to get you to see or get out what you problem is .as the psyciatrist prescribes your mediucation and keeps intouch at least once a month to see how it is affecting you.i did not need so much as a downer but a anti depressent, which we are not trained to fully understand the meaning or actions of to different situations. i was on xanax and taken off i am on 3 antidepressents which are helping me and 1 for panic disorder not all react the same in other ppl plz carry think about what i said here and dont be the dr but be a pt listening to a professional in the field of your need for help
