Perduuuue! Taking meds can be pretty scary but I've been pretty consistently on some form of antidepressant/antianxiety since I was 15 so if you have any concerns or wanna talk about it, I'm totally here for you. They do usually take a while to kick in (usually 1-2 weeks but sometimes up to a full month to feel the whole affect) and sometimes it can take a few tries to find one that works well with minimal side effects. Also sometimes they only handle like 80% of the symptoms but it still helps!
Also if the side effects are too bad or you don't feel like it's helping enough, don't be afraid to go back to your doctor and ask to try something else.
any improvement is a good improvement in my book even if it takes a while! thank you though i really appreciate you and all the other people who have come forward to offer their support and advice with this.
truth be told today is the first day i’m really starting to feel that First Week Sickness™ kick in so i’m not feeling super amazing right now but if it lasts too long i’ll be sure to talk to my doctor about trying something else
