Hi Medora777,
Congrats on your achievements and progress!! It's a wonderful feeling when you have passed the tough times and can see the light ahead.
Make sure that you work with your doctor to come off of the medications slowly. You did not say which medication you were taking, but most of them warn not to stop the medication suddenly and always taper off with the advice and care of your doctor.
You can read about commonly prescribed medications for Anxiety here in the drugs database.
Good luck Medora. Please stay in touch and let us know how you are doing!
