I’m going to have my first psychiatrist consultation next week. I expect the psychiatrist will prescribe me medication for anxiety/OCD and possibly ADHD. To be honest, I am quite scared of that… I have read or heard about aggressive side effects, addictive and long-term treatment. Anyone wants to share their experience?

      It really depends on how your body reacts to the meds. Everyone is different so I can't give you an easy answer. I can tell you though that those types of meds will make you drowsy and sometimes dizzy. My meds worked for me. I hope they'll work for you!

        @Amimae thank you for mmmm sharing. I’ve heard about the same. My major concern is whether drowsiness and dizziness will make it difficult to keep up with work. But I guess this is anxiety speaking and I will never know if I don’t try first
