Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You have not given the name of the anxiety pill here. In any case, taking those anxiety pills for two weeks, even months for that matter, may not be addictive. I think, it is your anxiety about not taking the pill gives you anxiety and makes you feel all these symptoms. Please do have the pills if they are prescribed by a qualified and competent psychiatrist. Don't overlook, and also don't self diagnose.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
