I was against medication. My Therapist still made me get an evaluation from a psychiatrist "just for diagnosis and insurance purposes". After our conversation the dr asked me if I wanted to try X or Y medication and convinced me to give him a year to improve my life. I faithfully gave him a year. Now he was a less is more dr and I wasn't fully treated but I'm truely grateful that a dr. convinced me. No amount of my husband or family would have convinced me. It was the "See these are your problems, that you stated and let me help you with them." I think the best thing my Dr's and therapists do is get my husbands prospective and then kick him out.

I always tell drs when I meet them I don't like medication, I have trouble with medication. but I need medication. All of them have been pretty good about it.
