anxiety meds...

So I've been off my medication for about a week now per doctors orders... and I'm about to break down.. is there not any alternatives to taking the medications we need?? My primary care doctor gave me no other explanation or alternative or anything but to just cut my pills in half for a week and then completely stop taking them... how am I supposed to survive for the next 8 months?? Am I the only one with this problem.. 😞
