I started going to a therapist a month ago. She's not a psychiatrist, but after 2 sessions said that my level of suffering is so high (i have a lot of physical symptoms - mainly constant head tension) that I should get on meds. She referred me to some psychiatrists and because I just can't take it anymore, I did make an appointment...
The thing is, I am terrified of the SSRIs and SNRIs. I have this vague feeling that my counselor doesn't understand that I don't want to take them. What should I do? Should I just see what the psychiatrist says? I've never seen a psychiatrist for meds...
