Hi Annmarie,

Welcome to the site.

I never took any medication and recovered ok from anxiety, it can be done. Are you doing any kind of talking therapy? Have a good read on the forum, its most likely you will read other people are feeling exactly the same as you. Anxiety issues often make us feel we are going mad, its just anxiety.

take care .. andrew
