so I guess trying to do this without medication is a bad idea.
I personally had been trying to battle my severe anxiety and depression also for years. I can do this alone , I do not need meds etc. etc. I said all those things to myself. And now that I take them it is like nite and day. I am still me only better. Life seems more manageable now. THE BENEFITS for me outweigh the side effects. Its up to you sweetie but for me the way I see it now is MY GOD why didnt I take these @ 4 years ago when the Dr suggested it? It took a very severe Panic attack for me to start taking them a few weeks ago. Sad really~
I look back now and see that alot of what has happened was b/c I was living in the fog that depression leaves you in.
I thought I could do it alone and if I would have realized with just a little help life could be sooooooooooooooooooo much brighter for me.
It a personal decision really~ .... but I remember the day I went to the DR. I was still saying no thanks I do not want to take meds... and his respone was.... Wouldnt you like it if you didnt have to feel like this everyday? And with TEARS coming down my face. I finally said " YES I would." And that was that. Think about you and take care of yourself. You will be in my prayers.
