When I first tried meds they all made me incredibly sick too. I tried so many and gave up for awhile. Eventually I got desperate and tried again. This time the doctor prescribed hydroxyzine along with sertraline (zoloft). I took them both at night. I think the hydroxyzine helped me sleep through the sickness maybe? I'd wake up starving but not sick like before. I stopped the hydroxyzine after 4-5 months, I think it gave my body time to adjust to the sertraline. I know this doesn't really answer your question but it wasn't until I found a medicine to take the edge off until I could see a difference with natural therapies.

i relate to this, i tried Lexapro as my first medication and it made me SO incredibly anxious about the most mundane things. eventually i ended up on Effexor which is much better for me, and i also started therapy

I have not tried any medications due to my underlying fear of the unknown side effects, but day by day I breath and try to focus on the "now" to help ground myself. It's hard but worth it
