If you tell the doctor they work, etc, etc. They will let you take them. I use to worry the same thing. Told my doctor how great the meds were. And my worry. And I take as much, long, as I want. Said I could take them for life, made a note of it, so other doctor could know, if I ever got a new doctor, I guess.
The meds create a sense of uphoria in the brain, which makes you happy. You will feel numb if you only depend on the meds for happy. Because your life is not as satisfying, you don't *feel* things the way you do without meds. And can have a numbing effect. The meds are meant to get the pain that prevents you from being happy out, till you are better. Yes you will feel better even after a while, because you are taking the meds. Then you might think to stop the meds and find you don't feel as well agian. Your life needs new meaning and better *real* things, to slowly decrease the meds, one step at a time, till you can handle life without meds. Who knows maybe you will need them for life, maybe not, the doctor won't know till it happens, which will depend on you. That is why it is so important to talk to your doctor as honistly as posible, which is easy. That way they can help the best.
