Of course it's different for everyone. For me it took a long time of trying different natural remedies as a way to help anxiety/depression and nothing helped, but I really did not want to take meds. It got to the point where I could not leave the house to even walk around the block without having a panic attack. So I tried a small dose of Zoloft and it has been great. It's helped me manage my problems better, so I can go to school/therapy/live my life. I know it's just temporary, and I know that (even on a low dose) withdrawals might really suck. But had I not tried the Zoloft I wouldn't be where I am today.
The medication has helped me get out and learn/practice ways to manage my anxiety and depression (which in turn helps the dpdr),and I know that when the time is right for me to stop the meds, I will still have the tools and knowledge to continue improving my mental health. I wouldn't have been able to do any of this had it not been for the SSRI.
Again, everyone is different and everyone reacts to things differently. Our brains and bodies aren't all the same so something like an SSRI might be shit for some people, but really help others. I hope you find something else to help you and that you feel better soon!
