Experiences while taking anti-anxiety meds

Hi everyone,
I'm hoping you can all help me. I've been experiencing severe anxiety lately and I have finally asked the Doctor for medication to help control it. What I'm concerned about however is how I will be mentally whilst taking them. In the past I have taking anti-depressants for ante-natal depression I suffered during my third pregnancy......problem is, it was like I was walking around in a constant haze and whilst I was calmer, I couldn't cry or feel much emotion. In addition, I have very little memory of my kids during the 16 months that I was taking them....it is like that whole period of my life was practically erased. I know I need the medication, but I really don't want that to happen again.
If anyone could shed some light on how they felt/feel whilst on medication, I would really appreciate it 🙂
