I tried to do it without meds. I tried things naturally. No go. (In fact...be careful! Certain herbs can actually make things worse. Feel free to post questions re. the different herbs out there...like melatonin, valerian, etc.)

I think people tend to assume because something is "natural" that it's safe. That's not necessarily true! With prescription medications, you're under the supervision of a doctor, the medications are regulated so you know EXACTLY what you're getting and how much, and there is (usually) plenty of information from studies and clinical trials to let you make an informed decision about your meds.

I don't know if meds/therapy is the answer for you. But please keep in mind a)this is not your fault b)this is a chemical imbalance in your brain (it is a MEDICAL issue...NOT emotional) c)it doesn't have to be this way. You can feel better!

Thank you! This actually made me feel better about my own situation!
