I’ve finally decided to take the plunge and get some meds. I have an appointment with a psychiatrist this Saturday and plan to do some research this week, but was wondering if any of you could point me in the right direction based off of your own personal experience? 

As much as possible, I’d like to avoid feeling like a zombie (so probably no anti-depressants. The time I was on Lexapro were some of the worst months of my life). Ideally, I’d like to be myself, just less impulsive, angry, and anxious. My main struggle is definitely the anger. 

Any success stories out there about getting mood swings and emotional dysregulation under control without becoming an emotionless bump on a log? 

Thank you comrades 🙏🏼
