Today I got prescribed antidepressants after years of dealing with constant anxiety. Recently though my anxiety hasn't been so bad, and I'm really scared of taking the AD incase it does more harm than good. What if it makes me even more anxious, as right now it's not too bad? My anxiety usually comes in cycles so it will be really bad for a few days, and then good for up to a week or so. What if they make me feel bad all the time? Does anyone have any experience with antidepressants prescribed for anxiety, especially SSRIs (I got prescribed Citalopram).
I'm also starting uni next week. Do I have to avoid alcohol completely if I take it? I'm not one to go out and drink, but just incase should I be completely sober?
