...i tell my doctor? I got prescribed them, citalopram 40mg, half a tablet a day so i guess more like, 20mg daily, anyways, i didnt really want to take them but then i was like hey doctor knows best or nurse practitioner in my case, whatever the difference is...i took the pill the first day ...felt like shit! like i was hungover...

then i didnt take it anymore, that was a friday so i called the lady on monday and she told me to go to 1/4 of a pill so, 10mg ...but i never started again...this was a week ago i think, and i have an appointment at the "womens mental health clinic" at the hospital i go to and i dont know if i should tell them that im not taking it...

I really just want to do it with therapy because i dont want to eff myself up in the head....I'd rather just deal with it and get the therapy which i have more faith in...

my question is will they be like okay we can just do therapy or will they insist that i try the pills???i know its obviously up to me to take the pill or not, but i dont want to get denied therapy, if thats even possible

i almost feel like just lying and saying i am taking the things and not doing so but then i have a follow up with the nurse practitioner who prescribed them 3 months from now and i dont know what to do...

what would they tell me?
