I would like to try meds, was on them over 4 years ago and came off and crashed but carried on tying to get better without them, I now feel I am at the end of my rope but am terrified to start meds due to the anxiey.
Anyone that help me I would appreicate very much, I feel so lost and alone and I do live alone too so its so hard to get through each day like this. I am barely functioning and everything is an effort. My life now is so small and I was such a busy person before all this and very active and not much stopped me doing things. I am now just a shell. I had seen mental health team over the last two years and they tried meds but I only lasted about 3 or 4 days on each trail becasue my anxiety was so bad and the meds seemed to make my anxiety worse, maybe i didnt give them enough time but after the 3 or 4 days I was scared that i would feel bad for months on end like that so I kept quitting the meds.
Please if anyone can offer some support or has experince in start up of meds and getting over the worst days/weeks or even months?
Thank you
