Have you tried any herbal remedies? I too am afraid of taking meds and came to a decision I won't try again as I stressed too much even just having them in the house.

I use the bach rescue remedy drops.

I don't know wether they work or wether its all in my head, but if I'm having a moment I have some and I seem to deal with it better.

Good luck.

Hi

I have a med fear , my fear is not that things will make me worse , but I will get every side effect listed

When I need to take something , I try & tell myself I will take one , just for today & if I dont want to take one tomorrow , I dont have to , this helps me to feel in control, which makes the fear less

You could try them just a day at a time & if at any stage they make you feel worse , you can always stop them

See how you feel , but maybe if you decide to try them , tell yourself its just for today

Let us no how you go on

Love

hello,Itoo have a fear of taking meds,i'm afraid of getting more anxious than Iam now,cause I couldn't handle it.but my 2 sisters take sertraline and they had no side effects like that,but I still can't bring myself to swallow one..everyone reacts differently to meds,so i'm agreeing with whywhy,try one,then two,you should know after 4 or 5 days how your reacting to them,if you don't feel well,just stop..pity I can't take my own advice,but I have med phobia.not just with a/ds, but antibiotics,and statins,also strong painkillers,only thing I take is xanax,and rescue remedy and a b complex vitamin,hope you have more courage than me..sending big hugs..xxx
