Answer

XXXXXXXX,

 

JA experts offer advice but do not write prescriptions. To obtain medication for anxiety you would need to have a face-to-face consultation with a psychiatrist in your area and would then be required to have periodic check-ins to ensure that the medication is working and not producing side-effects. To find a psychiatrist near you, a good place to start is the website for your insurance company. Usually they offer a list of providers who accept your insurance and often have brief bios for each professional so you can know a little bit about each person to help you make a decision about who's right for you.
