I posted this under medication but I feel it's probably better suited here as the medication section seems to be more for people to discuss the medication that they are already on, sorry for the double post!

Hi all,
Hope everyone is enjoying the bank holiday weekend as much as can be.
I was wondering if anyone had any tips on starting up on medication? If anyone has seen my posts before you will know I'm absolutely terrified of medication and just can't get myself to take it! I've had anxiety for 6 years now and all the therapy in the world just hasn't helped so I'm now trying to come round to the idea of medication, problem is I used to have health anxiety and I've never taken a tablet in my life!
I'm worried about taking the first one, I know I'm going to panic straight after knowing I can't reverse it. I'm getting anxious now just thinking of it.
On top of this I'm super worried about all the horrible side effects I've heard about. Because I've had health anxiety I also worry about long term effects, basically I worry about anything to do with taking tablets!
So, does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about taking the first one?
Thanks in advance :smile:
