I'm sorry you've had that experience. It sucks.
Traditional medication used for anxiety include stuff like diazepam, lorazepam, tamazepam, etc. These all have some abuse potential, and some potential for addiction.
If you decide that you still want to seek treatment here's some information from the UK "NICE" (the organisation that looks at cost-effectiveness of treatment and makes evidence based recommendations).

Hopefully this gives you some information that you can use if you decide to seek help in future.

What is the difference between a drug-seeker, and a patient aware of his options? It's too bad that the more logical you are with your psychiatrist, the more they find reason to diagnose you.
But I'm just commenting on an Internet forum.
In my experience it's difficult to find a professional who takes me seriously. I feel like I've been treated like a drug-seeker. It's all very demoralizing.
