I very much struggled, and still struggle sometimes, with the idea of taking meds. I was, and still am, ashamed to need to take them. I really wish that I didn't need them, but I can't function so I'm currently open to the idea of taking meds, IF they help more than they hurt (side effects). The problem is that antidepressants don't work for me. I've tried SSRIs, SNRIs, NARIs, tricyclics, tetracyclics, lithium and now lamictal/lamotrigine. So far nothing I wish I could just get better already!! And if meds can help with that, then I'll keep trying (for now).
