If you asked 5 of us here about the medicine you'r taking, you will probably get 5 different opinions! So I can imagine you are very confused right now.

We want to help you, but we are not doctors. We cannot (and should not) advise you on what to do about medicine. You need to follow the advice of a doctor!

About 6 years ago, when I went through the most difficult time of my life, I remember asking all of my friends what I should do. I kept getting contradictory answers from them, and I was so confused. Their advice was making me even more anxious. Then my husband finally put it into perspective for me. He said that I needed to quit listening to my friends (and family) who did not have a medical degree and follow the advice of my doctor.

It was only when I decided that I would have to totally trust the doctor that I got better. It sounds like you have a wonderful doctor (and therapist). My gut tells me you need to trust them and they will lead you in the right direction.

I'll be praying for you. You'll get through this. You are a strong person, and a bright future is just around the corner for you!
