Medication?

Question

I'm 24 years old and I have anxiety and depression. I've been seeing my counsler pretty regularly since around July/August. I've been having a lot of particularly bad days recently and luckily meet with her again this coming Friday (03/08/19). I've been thinking about possibly seeing someone else who would be able to prescribe medicine. I'm honestly a little hesitant to try it, but I don't think just talking is helping me and I need something to help everyday. I just need advice please, I don't want to leave my current counsler, but she is not able to put me on anything. And I'm hesitant about medicines because I don't have history, knowledge or experience being on anything. Any advice and thoughts would be appreciated, thanks!

I get anxiety, I got really bad so went to the doctors and they gave me sertraline. It really helped me focus etc and made me feel a lot better. I decided to come off after 8 months as wanted to get pregnant without medication in my body. I still get anxiety but not as bad, I think it just helped my brain and body sort it’s self out. 
Maybe try it, you can always come off it.

Answer

I had anxiety and depression when I was in high school. I was in the same situation as you with my counselor at the time and she referred me to a psychiatrist and I tried a couple different meds. Sometimes you need them just to get over the hump and then you can heal the rest of the way yourself. I found that meds made things worse for me so I got into more natural things like essential oils. I changed my diet and exercised more which are big contributors to mental health. I also had strong family support. I got a lot better after that. It's about trial and error. You'll find what works best for you. I wish you the best!

Answer

I've been doing trial and error with meds for about a year. They tell you about them, you try them out for a month or so and if you don't like it tell them and try something else. It's nothing to worry over. And you can do both therapy and meds. It's helped me a lot.
