Went to psychiatrist. Just nervous about side effects if any?

Hi guys so finally went to psychiatrist he prescribed me some medications. I am just worried about its side effects.

And i have habit of overthinking in worst case scenario.

Not sure what to do.

What’re you going through I don’t know but gym and exercising are the best anti-depressants. Lift weights and sleep, you’ll forget all the issues going in. Do some MMA and punch the bag thinking it’s the problem that you have. All the anger is put in the bag itself and you have a good day and a good life if you do these regularly

Second this. I feel much better from last 2 year since i joined gym. Try it out. Maybe, it will substitute meds if you put effort.

Avoid psychiatrists. The drugs they prescribe is more dangerous than if you don't go to them. These drugs along with painkillers caused the drug epidemic in the US. Go for yoga and meditation classes conducted by traditional teachers (Bihar school, kym, Iyengar yoga schools and such). AOL is also ok.

I'd recommend ignoring the first part of the above comment.

Yoga, meditation are like supplements for your health and can help you feel better, alleviate symptoms (and maybe even cure in the long run) but they are not replacement to medicines or medical help.

Don't stop the meds. In case of side effects or if you feel your work is getting hampered, consult with your doctor first. Take a second opinion from a different psychiatrist if you feel the meds are not working instead of just stopping them.

These are goopy professions,no body can know your mind other than guru or self. The medicines are drug, change your lifestyle place and people for 6 months , you will come back with orgasm, memories are function of time people and place

To avoid overthinking it means you need to engage the distracted mind in something may be start it by writing; i am sure this will help you out; habit is defined as repetitive emotion at particular time so just change the emotion. Lmk if it works

I take meds. No major side effects earlier I used to feel sleepy but now I don’t maybe because I am now used to it
