Medication

My therapist thinks I should go back on the medication I’ve been off of for almost 2 years. I’m scared! I didn’t like myself on them but they did help a little. I’m just scared of it making me worse.

Does anyone else have problems with medication or just wants to share their side effects?

I’m scared I’ll hate myself more or my partner will leave me. He hasn’t seen me on medication before and what if it makes our relationship worse?

I either had bad side effects or they didn't work at all. What didn't you like about yourself? And if you had side effects, will your doctor consider something else. My mom couldn't cry on Prozac and a lot of people have anxiet on many of them

There are many other medication treatments to try than a medication that only worked a ‘ little’ for you in the past. I’d be asking to try something that will help more than a little, side effects are normal, most go away with prolonged use as it builds up in the body, but uncomfortable ones that aren’t improving your quality of life, communicate this to your doctor, many therapies and maybe a combination, but it does take time to discover something that works best for you.
