[Shelbiixo]

Firstly sorry for posting on here again. Anyway I'm going to the doctors tomorrow because my mum wants me to get a full check up, I'm just scared he's going to put me on anti depressants or something and I've heard bad things about them like addiction and some can make anxiety worse it's making me more anxious about going incase he forces me to go on Meds and they make me worse or I become addicted anyone else had Meds that have actually helped?

Yes, I have been on anti depressants for 16 years. Like you, I was terrified by the thought of being on meds. I still sometimes stress over it.

These drugs are really miracles for some people. I'll ask you this question. If you had high blood pressure, what would you do if the doctor precribed medication? You would take it.

If you were ill with a flu, you would take meds for that too. Anxiety is no different. It is a physical illness that needs to be treated. antidepressants will balance your brain chemistry to make you feel better. remember that anxiety and depression are different sides of the same coin. So, the meds will only help you.

Believe me, I know how you feel with this. I've been there. Granted, drugs can be abused and people will get into trouble if not handled properly. Under a doctor's care, you will be ok.
