Anxiety medication?

El

I was prescribed some depression medication to help with my anxiety, my mom has had rlly bad problems with abusing pills and alcohol while taking them in the past so ofc my opinion on them is really biased on not trusting anything that effects your brain chemistry.

My main concerns are what happens when i go off of it. And that its gonna effect my opinion on things and stuff like that. My anxiety is mainly environmental i live with my family and i am unable to move and they make my life miserable. My boyfriend is my only support and his family is helpful too.

Has anyone ever taken medication for anxiety? And if so can you please tell me about your experience below?
