Medication Blues...
I've been prescribed medication for my insomnia, but I'm really hesitant about taking it. The thought of taking insomnia stuff (along with the antidepressants I've been prescribed) makes me really anxious... what am I supposed to do??
In my experience with meds, if I don't want to take it then I don't, but I have to weigh that against how much I want to keep suffering. Will taking this pill make life a little better for me? Maybe. It doesn't hurt to try it. Life shouldn't be lived in suffering. If you're not comfortable taking it though, talk to your doctor about it and see if there are alternatives.
If it is a side effect, then it is certainly worth discussing with the doctor.
Have you talked to your doctor about how the medicine interacts? Are you prone to experiencing the side effects? I had to deal with this a year or two ago. I stopped taking the sleeping medication mostly because it made me feel sluggish in the morning and I was in college at the time. If you don't want to take the medicine in the end then maybe take a more natural approach? if that's something you're interested in. It's important that you feel comftorable
