I feel I should point out that meds aren't always the be-all and end-all, and they're not necessarily the wonder cure you may be expecting. I'm not going to deny that they help a lot of people out, because I know it to be true, but I have to agree with Aimee, your best shot is going to be a combination of meds and some form of therapy (like CBT, for example).
Obviously there's nothing wrong with being on medication, and I'm not trying to dissuade you from trying to take them (by the way, your GP should be able to prescribe them, mine did), I just feel that you shouldn't expect them to magically cure you and make everything fine. I've only just started taking medication, and it's been the worst week of my life. Almost everything's triggered me, and it's only by virtue of not being left alone all week that I haven't been able to SH again... So, be careful, I guess...
