Do I take the meds if he gives them to me or do I wait this out and hope its just adjustment disorder? I cannot say enough how terrified I am of starting an antidepressant

Hi John,
I think that there are indeed real reasons to be concerned about antidepressants. Whatever you decide to do, I think it makes sense to raise your concerns with your MD and to try safe, healthy things that you can do that often are very helpful. You may get some ideas from this:
