Has anybody out there found a successful way to overcome the fear of actuallt taking medication? (Except for: STOP READING THIS BOARD!! LOL) No really, I sat in front of a Klonopin this morning...actually it was hilarious when I look back at it. I was just sitting there looking at it...thinking about it damn near incitied a PA! So I mean...this is stupid but in addition to my PA, Agoraphobia...I am a pillaphobic. But oh man do i want to try it. I guess I feel like when its in me I hav eno control...please any help would be great

Wait till it does something good for you, or you decide you need it, life is better than without, then you will injoy it. Or just plain old getting used to it.

From all the research I have read, it is a very beneficial thing for the body and the brain, to be in a healthy mood.
Bad moods, depression, anxiety, fear, etc take their toll on the heart, and the brain.

Try separating yourself and the disease. If you take the pill, the disease (not you) isn't in control.
It isn't easy. An alcoholic has to do the opposite. Stare at the bottle and realize the disease wants the drink, not me.
Just a thought

Interestingly enough, I was just reading today that EMDR (Eye movement desensit....)can reduce and or eliminate pill phobias. Phobias are frequently "ridiculous" by nature--that is why they are so dang awful, in many ways. They make no sense! But are very real!
