Be certain you actually need them. I let a court ordered alcohol councelor convince me that I "must be depressed" even though I didn't feel cepressed and didn't know of any need to be depressed. I went to a psychiatrist, whose job is to prescribe medicine for big pharma, to find out what he thought. He gave me a choice of several drugs he thought would help, without confirming the diagnosis of the counselor who was diagnosing out of his field. The psychiatrist started me on the meds at a mid-level dose and said that he would adjust from there. I never felt any better or worse, but I was grinding my teeth even during the day and developed a permanent facial tic. So, if you think you need them, good for you, but don't let someone else tell you you need them, those side effects are real and some can be pretty nasty if you don't actually need the meds.
