I think this is a GREAT idea! And something worth considering. Although I'm still happy, happy, happy on my Lexapro. LOL :) Yea!


> Hi Phillipa,
> I don't have the med experience or knowledge to help you out. But I do have a thought or two about taking meds in general. I think that anxiety about taking medication and how you might react is part of this. Is that right?

It's so much information about meds and what side effects are common with which ones. Maybe if you had it sorted out for yourself which ones you can cope with and which ones are "deal breakers", perhaps that would help you select a good treatment?
