I've been scared to take meds, because my dad got injured, and got painkillers to help him. He ended up becoming addicted, moved on to other drugs, caused a rift between him and my mom which resulted in divorce and my moving to Canada, and ended with him killing himself because he was too depressed to live on. |
That's pretty heavy stuff and I can see why you'd be wary. I know painkillers can have addiction issues, I think it's less common with medication for anxiety/depression but still possible.
As long as you just take your regular normal dose though I don't see how a probelm could arrise. Unlike painkillers anti-depressants aren't designed for rapid relief. They only really have an affect after being taken regularly over a period of time. But I'm not a doctor.
