Maybe take some time to write down why meds *aren't* poison? Then you can review your handwritten note every time you get afraid. And make sure to remind yourself how many times you've taken your meds and how your meds have never been poison before, etc etc

Thanks bluebicycle, that's a good idea. I think part of it stems from the fact that I had an incompetent doctor at one point that put me on a massive dose of Lithium which put me in the ICU for a week with kidney failure, my levels were 4.3. I think that traumatized me and scared me because the doctor at the time didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with the horrible side effects I was having which turned out to be severe lithium toxicity. But the truth is the doctor I have now I've been seeing for almost 4 years has never once put me in danger like that so that's something I can keep in mind
