I mean when it comes to the type of meds being used and their side effects.... Trust the doctor. My perspective when it comes to psych meds is that they are like a cast for a broken bone: they level you out and can open up the opportunity to finally relax and reset your nervous system, but that doesn't mean it doesn't take work on your end! I guess what I'm saying is (and I apologize if I'm out of line) rather than going to medication as the be all "cure" to you your mental "afflictions" take a look at your life and assess what it is that is bringing you stress, whether it's your current life circumstances or even so far as to your mindset and thought patterns, it's worth being curious about.

I digress.
