*Whether it is prescription or over-the-counter, you may find medication helpful, especially during intense periods of stress. There may be times at which no medication is helpful and your anxiety is pushing you to realize something deeper about yourself. Regardless of how you handle the question of medication, remember that it is all just molecules. Your culture may label certain molecular structures (such as those found in carrots) as "better" than those found in Prozac or Buspar. However, if it works, it works. Don't shame yourself for needing assistance from medication. Also, don't believe anyone who tells you that you'll need to be on a medication forever. You are capable of great transformation so medication need never be a permanent necessity." (Mystic Life)
