thank you everyone!! i must admit, i'm very relieved now, especially to hear that you all have the same point of view i do about meds....it's not exactly like i'm being pressured deliberatly...it's just that everyone is strongly suggesting i take them....which is pressure enough in my head....i want to thank you all again, now i can get some rest. the thought of meds freaks me out so much i havent been sleeping. id like to thank lara especially, seems like you went through a lot of shit with medication- i was put on zoloft and wellbutrin as well ,a few years ago, the zoloft didnt help at all and wellbutrin almost gave me a heart attack!! so i'm glad you didnt wind up taking wellbutrin...also, lara, do you feel like your anxiety is what's making you so depressed in the first place? thats what i think in my case (although my dr disagrees) he thinks that if i werent depressed i wouldnt be anxious, but i think it's the other way around....just curious to hear more about your situation, cause it sounds almost identical to mine (OCD and stuff) thanks lara and everyone else!!
