Before you start medication for anxiety, There are questions no one tells you to ask…

In this episode, I’m joined by pharmacist and psychopharmacology lecturer Michael Knott to unpack what anxiety medications actually do, how they work in the nervous system, and the questions you should be asking before you ever start taking them. Because while medication can have a place, it’s not the full picture… and for many people, it’s not even the starting point.

This is not about fear or judgment around medication. It’s about understanding your options so you can make decisions that truly support your nervous system.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

  • What SSRIs and benzodiazepines actually do in the brain… in simple, human language
  • Why medication can reduce anxiety symptoms without addressing the root cause
  • The difference between short-term relief and long-term healing
  • Questions to ask your doctor before starting (or stopping) anxiety medication
  • Natural and lifestyle-based approaches that support your nervous system with fewer side effects
