I’m in my thirties and considering taking an antidepressant for the first time in my life. I have a fear of taking medicine and have never taken a long term medication like this. I’m very nervous about how it will effect me in all aspects. I have general anxiety that prevents me from doing a lot. I also have ADHD but can’t take any stimulants because of the side effects, including increased anxiety. I’m considering starting with Trintellix and hoping that will either help the adhd as well or allow me to start treating that with medication. Looking for any others who started taking something later in life for the first time and what their experiences were.

Thanks!
