Having Anxiety and being placed on a new medication can be uncomfortable. Recently I was prescribed a medication for high BP. With the help of others here I was able to take this medication. I was not invalidated for what I was experiencing and my BP is down some. Too many times I have been invalidated by doctors and hesitant to speak up. They see anxiety and invalidate. Grrrrr. Again, yeah team!! No, I was not a cheerleader but had a younger sister who was...to this day she can not speak below Mach 5. On the lighter side from one with anxiety.
