I just feel the need to vent. I suffer from generalized anxiety and health anxiety. I have felt increasingly anxious due to financial issues. I also work at home. My husband is a very negative person and very black and white in his thinking. There is no in between with him. He doesn't offer any emotional support. I used to have my two best friends to talk to but both of them sadly passed away a year ago. I do see a therapist online but have not been able to speak with her for about two months, due to finances. I practice CBT and have found that Claire Weekes has helped. I also take fluoxetine regularly. My doctor prescribed buspirone to take in addition to the fluoxetine, twice a day when I feel the need. I have not taken the buspirone for awhile. Maybe I should? I get anxious when I read about the side effects. Perhaps that is doing me more harm? Just need some thoughts.

You should do whatever your doctor recommends. They're the expert and know best.
BUT
I believe people are often over-prescribed medication, although there are definitely some people who need it. Therapy, reading up on anxiety and understanding it and working every day on accepting it and letting it happen is what worked for me, and what I think most people should be doing. But I think you should follow what your doctor said to do.
