I know, it’s hard to get over the paranoia of meds. Part of it is my history of ending up in the icu for a week with severe lithium toxicity (levels 4.6) with kidney failure and seizures. It was really traumatic for me and makes me wary of meds and med changes. I had paranoia about meds long before that but that experience and the trauma from it just ratcheted up my paranoia and anxiety around meds severely and I haven’t seemed to be able to shake it even though it happened 12 years ago.
