I was on medication (Wellbutrin) and then quit for a year. I got off because I felt like two completely different people on and off meds. I wanted to know who I was. This year OCD symptoms and anxiety were getting out of control again and I really needed help (doctor and T agreed) and really urged me to get on meds again... different type too (Zoloft). I was really scared and hesitant. I was worried it would interfere with my school work. I was worried it would change my personality. It took several times to find the right med for me last time and I was scared I couldn't afford the same thing to happen during college this year. I did give in after much prayer and thought and therapy. It was hard for about two weeks. The meds made me sick at first but I knew it was supposed to wear off. My teachers were really understanding and worked with me. I am now so happy I did go on meds. It is really helping and I did need something to help get my anxiety under control.

There's my story. Hope that helps some.

Good luck
