I'm just plain scared because I've never taken meds for my emotional issues. Never! I don't like meds at all but I have to take them now, for prediabetes and high triglycerides.

I'm probably the only person with BPD not on meds but Ts suggested it and I didn't want to or couldn't because I was nursing back then.

I am scared of having awful side effects that don't go away. Also of having to tell my other drs. and dentist if I'm on them. Yuk!! I'm just scared.

But what if I've never known what feeling good feels like? I just don't think that's true, though. Why should I risk taking them? I don't know what to do and it's making me anxious.

My former T also recommended them and I actually went to a pdoc but changed my mind. I get tired from tylenol! I never thought my T would suggest them, but she went to a workshop about BPD and came back with this information for me.
