Have you taken meds? How was it? Did it help? For how long? I've been nervous about taking medication and have family who have taken it, but most stop cos it wasn't helping much. I've been prescribed years ago and I kept trying on my own (good diet, excercise, therapy, etc) but it's been years and I'm still a mess. Some days barely function. Today I woke up and it feels like there's somone sitting on my chest and I've been waking up like this for days for no reason and I'm done. If meds will take this person off my chest, I'm going to start. Just wanting to hear about what meds you've been on/what meds helped. Side effects? Anything you wish you'd known before starting?
