A doctor will probably prescribe you an SSRI, it's rare to find a doctor to prescribe benzos right away, if at all.
Do you smoke weed daily? Personally I lost a lot of my social anxiety when I had to quit smoking for a while.

Probably a week or two I'm guessing? I know caffeine withdrawal can have those sorts of effects. Though if you want xannies what's the harm in trying

Withdrawals last to two to three weeks. The pain might go away before this time but your body will take longer finding it's own groove.

They prescribe SSRIs for everything.
I worked as a barista at some fancy coffee place for 2 years, and every morning I started off my day with a quadruple shot of espresso with a pump of vanilla and then usually drank a few more throughout the day. When I quit that was probably one of the most miserable 2 weeks of my life.. so I can attest it is quite real. Though I've never come off an opiate addiction..
If you want to try the herbal route, Kava Kava is one of the best herbs I know of for treating anxiety.. it's pretty nice.. you should give it a try. Though it can have a rather sedative effect in high doses so should probably not do it before going to work or something. Valerian is another very good one.

If you really want to change something, maybe take a look at your thinking habits. Anxiety is just thoughts, which trigger bodily responses. Read about anxiety, ego, compulsive thinking, meditation, well-being... learn how the mind makes things difficult.
Drugs relieve symptoms sometimes but they generally do not solve problems.

My caffeine withdrawals are terrible. If you blindfold me I wouldn't be able to tell if I was just withdrawing or falling down a flight of stairs on my head.
Therefore I am not quitting anytime soon.

That is a very good point, it all begins within. Thoughts control our health a very great deal. However, some types of things can be attributed to the things we eat and our bodies dependencies.

Shroomism, would you say your life improved without the caffeine or is it just the same but w/o needing caffeine?
I remember last year at this time feeling great and full of energy with no caffeine at all, but I don't know if that was a result of quitting or just being in shape.

I don't need caffeine at all. I wouldn't say my life improved or got worse without caffeine, it just was.
But those 2 weeks after quitting kinda sucked, I was one angry irritable bastard. Although I do drink soda now and then now.. I don't "need" the caffeine like I did when I was an espresso fiend. Like if I didn't get my drink by 10am I'd be having headaches and shit... I never get headaches. Like seriously, I don't get headaches.... at all. But when I was addicted to caffeine I got them when I didn't get my fix.

Don't take the pills. Find the real problem and work on that. Don't bury it in a hazy of medication. That shit is addicting, and worse than your problems are in most cases.
*edit
I was prescribed zoloft for a few months and they helped me get my shit together. Im not sure if those are pills people warn against, but i didnt have a prob comming off them.

you should also exercise a lot.. imagine yourself burning the anxiety (such as you might think about calories) while exercising.

Based on my own experiences and talking to other people.. I'm convinced that those pills have a drastically different effects on different people.
When I was a crazy 15 year old my mom had me going to shrinks and they put me on every medication known to man at different times. Zoloft fucked my shit up. But I think Paxil and Zyprexa were the worst.
But I've talked to people who say those things helped them. Not me though.. I stopped taking them cause they were fucking with my brain hardcore.

Here is a thread I made with a great link about how to cure anxiety naturally. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/9406233#9406233 It's all about reducing anxiety causing agents, and supplementing where necessary.
