Your reactions and feelings are fine and if they are valid for you that's fine. I simply don't feel the way people here seem to feel about medications which is why my views are very not popular. :) I'm not going to go into why I would accept getting that medication except to say I would and I'm not uninformed and living in a dream state.
I would not want you to get into a lose/lose situation. I too have anxiety problems and have had specific phobic reactions to things. The thing with me is - I'm going to dwell and worry if I DON'T treat something about myself that I feel needs to be treated AND I'm going to dwell and worry if I DO treat it. I have improved with that and it's better I treat - the dwelling and worry decrease for me and aren't as longstanding as when I DON'T act on a problem.
What thought processes work for me may not be appropriate for you or anyone else but fear is THE killer of life for me as is overthinking EVERYTHING to an overwhelming degree. I realized fear was the big issue - just something for you to think about is - Does this problem REALLY have this medication at its core or would it be almost any medication? Does the Dr's letter represent a true health crisis of ethics to you or does it feel like a rejection going deeper? I'm not sitting in judgement - I'm just trying to make you think a little which you can accept or throw away. :)
