I wanted to do a quick post today to share with you two great resources I found, regarding finding other people who may have had side effects due to the medication they are on for anxiety or other ailments.

You can also use these resources to report any side effect you may experiencing from any medication you are taking as well.

I only search for a couple of known medications used to mask anxiety, what I found interesting is besides the various side effects people listed as having ( which are bad enough), most of them were able to eliminate their anxiety without the prescribe medication.  This is interesting and is inline with my belief that medication for anxiety disorders do nothing but cover up your symptoms and do not deal with the root cause of the problem.

Here are the two resources, one for the USA and one for CANADA. Search for the medications you are on and read what other people have posted.  Its interesting.
