What symptoms have you had that have let you know you require anxiety medication?

I think that I may have an anxiety disorder and in hopes of helping me make a pre-physician visit self diagnosis, I was hoping that I could hear a few stories from others who have suffered with anxiety. What kinds of symptoms did you have that made you think you might have problematic anxiety? What success have you had with any medications that your doctor has enrolled you in? Thanks in advance!!

When I have anxiety attacks or panic attacks. I hyperventilate, which of course gives you a feeling of shortness of breath. It makes me feel weak like all my muscles are going limp. I feel like where ever I am at the time, I need to get up and leave the room and be by myself. I tremble inside and feel like I do not have control of myself. It is more scarry when you are driving and have one. I take xanax right now for mine but it is not a cure. It calms you down temporarily.
xanax or lorazepam are good for anxiety.
anxious, irritable, racing thoughts, cant concentrate, overly stressed, panic, insomnia, obsessive compulsive thoughts, etc.
good luck
I had a severe anxiety reaction to a medication I was taking (something I only realised later). The most distressing symptom for me was that I felt like someone was crushing my heart and throat- I could barely breathe.
I was prescribed a long-acting benzodiazepine, which worked, but when I had to come off it 3 months later (I didnt want to be spacey all my life), it was hell on earth.
