Racer,
I hope it wasn't too frightening. Please remember that no matter what happens, it's your body and your decision. If you decide that taking a new medicine is the right thing, try to make it as easy as possible to do the right thing.Keep your meds in a weekly sorter, so that you won't be faced to see your name, doctor and WARNINGS on an orange bottle every day.
If you're worried about side effects, please give yourself a week. Full SEVEN days before you abandon ship.
I'm crossing my fingers that you can work out a treatment plan that addresses the concerns that come from a sensible place, and assuages the anxiety that comes from a place that you'd like to leave behind.
I'm glad your husband is there for you. Don't you HATE it when they come up with some simplistic explanation announce it and then stroll off, while you are left with a swirling fury of reasons and counterarguments (all of which are negated by a simple backhanded comment- oh, whatever- you're just overreacting). Nevertheless, husband supports you, even the parts of you that need some help.
fingers crossed for Racer,
-Li
