Scared of meds
Hi all, I've been suffering with depression for maybe a year or so now and feeling like I'll never make it out. Went to the docs and they've prescribed me 50mg sertraline but I'm terrified to take it.
I was diagnosed with OCD and GAD 13 years ago and have been in and out of therapy ever since but worked really hard to fight it and it's mostly under control - depression is very much the problem now. Ive been offered meds for years but always refused. My OCD is a lot of health anxiety and emetophobia, and I'm really scared about the side effects of meds, and if this might really trigger my ocd again and set me back in that department... anyone had a similar situation?
Also falling down a reddit rabbit hole reading everyones awful symptoms has not helped but here we are!
