I would, I have been there for 14 yrs. and If I had to put myself through medication, I would do it all over again.

Good luck.
I think I am still learning about me and exactly how strong I can be. Since starting with my T, three times I started to act on the thoughts, it is like they took over my brain and I knew it was wrong what I was doing, but it was very hard to control myself. The last time that happened was about a year ago and I feel much more in control of my self these days - mindfulness has helped me enormously. I so nearly made an appointment to see my GP this week for a prescription, she tried to persuade me last year, but settled on some beta blockers and benzo's to at least alleviate the anxiety bit.

I am glad you had a good experience with medication, maybe I just need to have an open mind and discuss this with my T on Tuesday.

Thank-you Soup
