Question 5

how can i get over my fear of taking medication?

Accepted Answer

Get evaluated: You need to make an appointment with a psychiatrist to first get a thorough evaluation and then a diagnosis.  Your fear of medication may be a symptom of an underlying anxiety disorder, fear of loss of control and dependence, and so on.  It's fairly common, and sometimes, easy to treat. Sharing with a professional is the first step.  Call for an appointment tomorrow.

how do you get over anxiety and fears that control your life without medication?

Accepted Answer

Understanding: Find what is behind the fears and anxiety. What are the antecedent events including thoughts.

Question 7

i feel my medication is not working properly anymore and i fear that they are placebos ?

Accepted Answer

You need to speak to: someone immediately.  There would be an anonymous suicide prevention hotline in the UK, open 24 hrs daily with trained counselors.

I assure you with 100% certainty that no health practitioner in 2017 would give you a placebo.

However, when taking any medication, especially those for depression, there is a period of adjustment and possibly changes are needed to find the right one.  HANG IN!

Question 8

can you tell me how i can overcome fear of trying new things without theraphy or medication ?

Accepted Answer

Not really: You are setting up a situation for which there is no answer.  In order to change, one must try something new. The first step is to get a thorough evaluation before worrying about the various treatment options.  A complete evaluation by a psychiatrist will give you a diagnosis, explanations of what is going on, and treatment options.  Call tomorrow and get an appointment.

Accepted Answer

No: There is medication that can decrease anxiety or fear symptoms, but therapy is the only way to rid yourself of the anxiety/fear.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Sedation!: Find a dentist experienced in conscious sedation (check out www.Sedationcare.Com).  When you call to make an appointment, make sure to let the office know that you are very interested in sedation and that you'd like to schedule an initial consultation to meet with the doctor.  The two of you can discuss what level of sedation/anxiolysis you need and what medication would be best for your situation.
