I know that sometimes meds are necessary but in my situation, I don't think they are. I mean, how is taking a pill everyday going to stop people from looking at me when I walk down the street? I can't control their eyes, which is what I told the psych.
Anyway, thanks for your advice. If I try other things before meds and they don't do anything, then I might consider taking whatever the psych was talking about.

You shold ask as many questions as possible about the medication. I would also suggest asking for a leaflet about it.
The pills will, at very least, make you feel calmer and more in control.
I hope that you will find the right thing for yourself.

	PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student. I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out. I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included. Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
