Hi i'm 1* years old, i have social anxiety and agoraphobia. My mom decided to take me to the therapist for first time. The Therapist asked me a bunch of questions about how i feel when anxiety starts etc, etc.. Then when we were done the therapist said ill see you next monday, I thought she would get me a Doctor or something!! My mom insist that I keep going to the therapist but I really want a Doctor to see because I want my anxiety treated immeditetly. She doesnt know how anxiety feels so she has no clue what another day at school feels like... I want to get medication + therapy its a good combination, what should i do everyone?? :confused:

I forgot which one it was, psychologist or psychiatrist that can prescribe you medication... anyway, I am 19 and have had anxiety pretty bad. I think that therapy could be very helpful, maybe you could try a few sessions and if it doesn't help, tell the therapist that you feel you need more and maybe he/she will either prescribe you something or send you to a doctor that can. I haven't taken any medication for my specifically for my anxiety, but I have taken Benadryl and that kind of calmed me down. Good Luck, and feel better. Kelly

Rogerwilco, I would encourage you to give the therapy a chance. Discuss your feelings about needing medication with your therapist. It is a good place to start. Best wishes to you. Let us know how you are doing.
