Hi all,
So I have an issue I am debating. My new therapist asked if I would be open to meds. I said yeah I would be open to the idea again. I have an appointment next week with a nurse practitioner. The issue is that I am not sure if I want to go back on meds. Like I do almost but then I also don’t want to go on them. I have trouble with decisions. I have trouble with being consistent with them when I am on them. Last time I was on meds, I was on them for about, two maybe three months, and then stopped them. I was thinking of just going to the nurse practitioner for a consult and not get on meds right away. |

Dear RavenGirl1990,
I wish I had some advice to offer, but sadly I am not a physician or medical professional. I have been on meds on and off for most of my life. Every time I go off meds, I suffer terribly. I am sure that meds are one of the reasons I am still alive. But I cannot offer advice that you or anyone could or should reply upon and can only share what has helped me personally. I do hope that you are your nurse practitioner will find what works absolutely best for you, whatever that may be. Sincerely yours, Yao Wen |

Inconsistency with meds can worsen your depression and anxiety.

Don’t take the same class of medication expecting different results. The counselor recommends medication because that is what they are taught in school and at work. They never studied medicine and neither did nurse practitioners. They don’t know how the drugs actually work. Your smart, i can tell. Good luck. Maybe it’s your genes and your diet. Mainly your diet is off. Find what foods you need to eat more of.

You obviously have your own issues with meds but its wrong to discount PNP's, NP's and Psyches because of your own bias. Your issues seem to lie with the system itself and not the education levels of the professionals.
