Anxiety

I’ve been struggling with anxiety since I could remember. And although I feel it has improved since the past years I definitely still feel it. I’ve tried many things I challenge myself when I want to be quiet I speak up. I have also tried therapy. It’s helped but I’m tired of feeling that anxiousness all the time. I’m curios about medication for anxiety. I’ve never used it before and I didn’t really want it to come to this but I feel like my anxiety is really getting in the way of things in my life. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t have any friends to hang out with outside of school because I’m to quiet or shy. Anyone have any input on using medication for anxiety? Thanks
