Hello everyone! I apologize if this is the wrong place to talk about this. I'm new here, haha.

I was prescribed Wellbutrin and I picked it up close to a month ago (I have the generic form, which I hope is okay, I just realized that about a week ago). And I've heard great things about it. I am just terrified to start taking antidepressants. I don't know why. It could just be me being influenced by my family, who is antimedication, and who doesn't really have a firm grasp on mental health issues (it's a cultural thing).

Has anyone else ever been afraid to start taking their medication? What made you get over that fear? I know it'll be good for me and I know I need it because I've had chronic depression for a decade now. I'm just very nervous.
