Honestly. The best way I can put it is it isn’t a solution, really things won’t just magically be better, but it does lift the clouds above your head, and makes life more tolerable. You will still need to work on anxiety triggers. In my experience, I have ptsd, anxiety and depression, before starting, I had intrusive thoughts, nightmares, and extreme depressive episodes coupled with Suicidal thoughts. I started medication about 3 years ago, and it changed my life drastically. P1

Things get better be open with your doc and don’t be afraid of adjustments. Psych meds frequently require adjustments. Also meds are wasted without therapy imo

My meds don’t make me feel too different, I just have to be careful when drinking and I bruise super easily (cymbalta). The main thing was just that my OCD stopped being so crazy and I otherwise feel the same, I’m currently watching so many horror movies to catch up for lost time where my OCD didn’t allow me to do so :)
