I know overall medication is cheaper for the most part, but I would really recommend finding a good therapist that deals with anxiety. There is almost always a root cause that ISN'T a chemical imbalance. And finding that cause and dealing with it is really the only way to truly fix this problem and not just cover it up with medication. It's just easier for regular doctors to point at something that can be fixed with pills.
Despite my belief that no one should take medical advice off the internet, I do believe this is good advice.

Therapy is productive even if the root cause IS a chemical imbalance.
