I dont let anxiety get to me no more

[Tarishalovesherse]

I dont take medication. Nop I refuse. Yes I have took medicine, when the nurse in the emergency room gave it to me. Once I saw myself depending on it I knew I had to STOP! Although I only took it for a few days. That's when I had no clue of anxiety and what it meant. I was new to this, I immediately researched and studied and healed myself. Dealing with anxiety can be hard at times, but when you know what you're up against it's so easy to defeat what you are dealing with. I've always been strong and I love doing things my way so I pay no mind to it. I remember over a year ago I was a mess. Scared to go to sleep, had all these feelings in my body, thinking I'm goin die every day I mean Lord knows I've been through it.

Hi Tarish, I remember you from a year ago. It was a rough struggle. Not taking medication isn't for everyone. Some of us need it for a while along with therapy and that's okay, no shame. However whether we take medication or not, I agree with you in researching and learning what we are dealing with, can help immensely. Understanding Anxiety and what's behind it can help us proceed forward.

You're a stronger person now for having gone through this. I wish you well. The goal here is for all of us to once gain control of our lives and leave anxiety behind. Make it a great day my friend. Life is Good. Enjoy xx

Yup thanks for remembering me, I'm much stronger than I was a year ago, I'm much proud of myself , for doing extremely good. However yes I still get certain symptoms, that I didn't before but I know what it is, and where it comes from so I just ignore it. I dont judge no one for taking medicine I just think we don't need it, but if anyone feels the need to take it. Then do as you please.

I, too, stopped all medications. I can finally sleep more than an hour or two at a time. For the record, I was not taking any medications that would harm me if stopped. And I gradually reduced the dosage on some before stopping completely. I was to the point, I was taking medications for side effects of medications!ENOUGH!

(And my liver thanks me...)

Ask your health care provider about a new DNA test. I get my results on Thursday. GeneSight is a test using a swab sample from your mouth to collect your DNA and the results provide you with a list of the best prescriptions for your metabolism. And I have a lot of weird side effects! Mom did too.

NOW, that's a compromise! No more trials & side effects...and begging to believed of the side effects!
