Question by Taylor E: Is there a drug to help with my “condition?”?
Ok, let me make this clear first.
I do not do drugs, I have never been addicted to any kind of drug in the past. I am not that kind of person.
Which leads me to ask….
I have very bad anxiety and stress. I am a perfectionist in school. I’m one of those kids you probably hated because I always have to get that “A”. I guess you could say I’m kind of OCD about it in a way. I don’t know if this is normal, but school and my schoolwork is all I ever think about. Even after finishing studying, doing homework, I still feel like I have more to do and can never find myself relaxing. On days we have tests, I have nightmares, and that “test” is all I can think about in the morning. When I get to class, my heart starts to race, and I become extremely nervous, dizzy, and my hands start to shake. I am so tired of my schoolwork having such emotional and physical tolls on my body. I just want to be able to relax and not freak out right before the test is handed out.
I have researched that xanax is used to reduce anxiety, but can also be highly addictive. I believe I have enough self-control to not become addicted to this drug, but I’m sure thats what everyone else thought too. I don’t know what to do, I am kind of embarassed to go to a doctor and tell him my story, because it is kind of ridiculous in a way. But school and grades are an integral part of me and I am tired of feeling like I’m going to have a panic attack right before every test I take. I need SOMETHING to calm my nerves, because I can NOT keep living like this. It’s driving me insane.
Please help.

This might not answer your question really, but helping you be informed knowing I, myself being involved with drugs in the past is that any drug that is said to be addictive will be. Even if you say and “know” you won’t, you most likely will considering your body’s craving it and such.
You should visit a doctor to get the right kind of medication instead of depending on possibly no knowledge strangers that will give you stupid or irrational answers.
Hopefully though, you get the one you need. Good luck.
