human
Hey, honey. I wanted to tell you something.
gpt
Sure, what is it?
human
So, I stopped taking the anxiety medication that I was on.
gpt
Really? Why is that?
human
I felt like they weren't really helping me, and after a few days without them, I actually started to feel better.
gpt
Oh, well that's good to hear. But you should have discussed it with your doctor before stopping.
human
Yeah, I know. But I just felt like it wasn't doing anything for me and I hated the side effects.
gpt
I understand, but you shouldn't make any changes to your medication without consulting your doctor first.
human
I know, you're right. I'll be more careful in the future.
gpt
And don't forget that there are also other ways to manage anxiety besides medication. Maybe we can look into therapy or relaxation techniques.
human
That's a good idea. Let's do that.
