Can anti-anxiety (stress) medication cause you to think that you’re stressed almost all the time?

My mom was prescribed anti-anxiety medication to help her cope with her anxiety when she felt it. I don’t know what the doctor told her but she takes it everyday, is that normal? And would taking this type of medication cause one to feel as if they were “dependent” on it so that their mind would cause them to “think” they were stressed out all the time even when possibly they really aren’t?

You do have to take it everyday, and initially it does make you more stressed but it works in the long run, and no they don’t make you dependent though you should consult with your doctor before deciding to stop taking the medication, just because you start feeling better. Good luck.
