...I'm going on medication for this anxiety.
I have had anxiety since I was 16. I am now 22, and even tho Anxiety isnt always there,and comes only in the winter months, I have been able to go this far without anything.
But I cannot cope anymore. I have lost appetite, My heart is racing from the moment I wake, I feel sick, I feel weak, I feel tired, I am light headed. I dont enjoy anything anymore.
BUT
I have a huge phobia of medications which explains why I have never been on a anxiety drug before.
I dont like the fact there's always going to be side affects, and I feel like it will do me more harm then good...
I need your help desperately, I am going to talk to my doctor and ask what is the best medication but i would like to know your own stories.
I feel if i go on a medication for this i WILL have a dangerous side effect, thats how im thinking and to be fair thats giving me anxiety its self.
I know the first few weeks after taking a pill will be the worst, untill it works but how will i cope? I will be sat here thinking of all the bad side effects, then I will think im addicted to this new drug. eeep :(
