I remember setting up an appointment with my doctor to discuss treatment. I ended up talking to a nurse practitioner that day as the doctor was unavailable. Her immediate response to hearing my symptoms of panic and anxiety were to prescribe me a dose of lorazepam. I was a bit concerned that therapy wasn't the first suggestion and medication seemed like a slippery slope, so I didn't fill the prescription. Probably for the best, as I've seemed to manage on my own just fine.
