i’m going back on SSRIs again for the first time in over 2 years. i’m really nervous, because i have trauma related to medication, but i’m proud of myself for asking for help anyways. it’s the absolute tiniest dose of a really tame non-addictive one, so everything should be fine…
That’s awesome, proud of you for taking this step! Your doctor knows what they are doing and sounds like they will take it slow with you. Make sure to keep your doctor updated so they can best adjust the medication for you.
Proud of you for putting your well-being first! It can be nerve-wracking but you are taking care of yourself, and that's the most important thing.
That sounds like a huge exposure you faced by doing this, good for you!👏🏼
Great job advocating for yourself. Ocd is a tricky disorder.
I am happy that you were brave in spite of a past experience. I had something very similar occur early on in my recovery- I was placed on some medications- too many, too quickly and I had a lot of scary side effects. It took me a long time to go back on them after that but I am glad that I did because, for me, it was life-changing for the positive. Everyone is different. I hope it all works out for you and remember that recovery is a process.
