[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 358163"] in my humble opinion, the anxiety medications are a little more risky in terms of dependency. So, if you take one of those, you might want to either not take them daily or try to take them for a short duration. You can always start them back up again if absolutely necessary. And in terms of an antidepressant, when you feel better, you can ask the doctor if you can reduce your dosage. Remember, you can work in conjunction with your doctor. However, you should not be fearful to try these medications. They are there to help you. The bottom line is that you want to feel better...to be more productive, to enjoy life to help yourself, etc. Any other thing (s) you can do in addition to medication will propel you fast into good mental health. These are things in addition to medication, like therapy (VERY helpful/important/worthwhile), exercise, socialization, hobbies, etc. Sending good thoughts.... [/QUOTE]
