What if I'm afraid to take meds because of obsessional drug fears?
Usually, with reassurance from a doctor that you trust, your fears can be overcome. If you still refuse to take medication, behaviour therapy can be started first, and part of the therapy can focus on your reluctance to take medication. Our experience indicates that the combination of medication and behaviour therapy will maximize your chances for improvement.
