[off to a new life]

Sorry about your parents reaction. Just try to remember that in your parents day the term diagnosis of anxiety disorder probably didn't even exist, so it might be hard for them to completely understand. As for the medication, you should never just stop a medication. Make an appointment with your doctor. You'll likely need to gradually stop the medication to avoid (possibly dangerous) withdrawal symptoms. The doctor can also prescribe a new medication that will hopefully work better with your body.

Here is a link with a little blurb about withdrawal symptoms. I believe the amount taken for anxiety compared to other uses is low, so hopefully nothing would happen, but it's better safe than sorry! http://bipolar-disorder.emedtv.com/s...ithdrawal.html
