I am concerned about this as well. I am at the beginning of my first attempt at professional treatment. I have only been through the intake therapy session. They did suggest medication to me, which I firmly rejected so they did not open that section of the treatment plan. I am concerned that my next meeting which will be with the therapist assigned to me that he may push medication. I have very mixed feelings about it, as I have used Dyphenhydramine (Benedril), and Valerian Root at times with descent results. I don't like the thought of getting addicted to anything, or becoming somebody else, or losing my awareness.
