I make a point to stretch/exercise, get enough sleep, and eat relatively healthy in addition to my meds. I know that I have to have some side effects, but I've tried to step down my doses with my doctors, and the meds ~definitely~ help. They just don't make it go all the way away on their own.

The side effects can be equally debilitating. Trying alternative therapies such as meditation or tapping can help. It's hard at first, but I find tapping helps. I can't meditate very well because I have a hard time "quieting" my mind.☺️
