Solstice and Dinah,
No, I don't currently take medication. I have had it prescribed to me by two different physicians. Last spring, I went to see a psych nurse practitioner and we spent 5 sessions talking about taking medication. I couldn't decide what to do. I finally filled the prescription, took the medication for 2 days and then stopped. I feel much different now than I did then. I am not as blanketly depressed, though I would say I feel much more anxious, probably for very real reasons in my life-- I am about to leave a safe place.
I don't think I am at the point where I can take medication. For me personally, it is my absolute last option. I want to wait and see what working through therapy can do for me. Part of this intense anxiety has had to have stemmed from the back and forth in therapy-- all of the chaos in switching between two different therapists.
