Stress Center Peer Support

I'm try to use the material I learn on the program, it is very hard for me, I still find my self with anxiety for almost all day,follow by synthoms of internal shakiness, dizziness ,confusion, panic. I think I would like to see a doctor to put me on some medications. The think is I wanted to get with out medications, I can't accept the fact I will have sideffect plus addictions. I guess I need to give in, those felling are taking over my entire day. What I am asking to anyone is : should I start with medications? should I go see a MD or a phsicology? How many different type of medications I need to take before I'll get the right one for me? I don't think I have depression,I do have anxiety plus panic disorder.Are the medications make people fell an act like aren't in the present moments? If I am on medication I can;t afford to be slow, in my profession people need to be awake an crisp, I will never make at my job if I act in a slow motion. Please Please someones that has knowledge up on the questions posted above would be soo kind to tell me what to do! Thank you all..
