I(21F) was on Prozac for almost a year and then slowly took myself off in June because I was in a really good place and was anxiety free without them and really didn’t want to get on them again because of how hard it is to get back on. 

Fast forward to now and my anxiety is back to a constant roar to the point I can barely take care of myself and I live alone so that makes it even harder. And after a lot of crying, conversations with my bf, worrying about the side effects of getting back on, and scrolling through this subreddit to find a post mentioning how being in medication is ok, I realized that I need to get back on the meds because I can barely enjoy myself when I’m anxious all the time, not to mention added stress from university. 

All of this is to say that I realized it’s ok to have to be on medication to feel normal even if that means it’s an indefinite solution.
