I'm a believer in getting information even when I think it is unlikely I'd be willing to do what a medical practitioner or any other non Western medicine provider I might see. About twenty years ago when I was in a different round of therapy, I was opposed to AD's but consulted a shrink. She listened to my worries and set about a rather unusual medication plan that would start off in very small doses and increase very very gradually. I was worried about side effects and had other concerns as well. I decided to try them and I was glad I did; it really increased the productivity of my therapy, made me feel less stressed, and in general decreased a lot of suffering I was feeling. I had no trouble getting off them 9 months later.

I'd encourage you to see a p doc and bring your concerns, bring questions like why do you think this will help me or how can I start slow so the side effects might be more minimal. I don't know when you last tried them, but there are new medications all the time and our bodies also respond differently as we age. You might note hate them if you tried them but most importantly, you can just go talk to the pdoc and still decide not to use any medication,.
