Hi Eva,

I'm sorry to hear about your sadness and worry from the medicine.

I would be concerned in your place, because the medicine was meant to help
with something causing stress, and now the medicine causes stress and fear.  
I would want some relief, and peace of mind.

Have you tried slowly going off of the medicine over a period of weeks?

Splitting the pills or cutting the pills into pieces might work, and after
the pieces are too small, you could try to increase the time between taking
the medicine.  This has worked for me.

I know it's scary now, but there is a lot to live for out there.  There are
so many good experiences in life.  Often the subtle peace of a walk,
enjoying the flowers and trees has a profound effect.

Do you have someone you trust that will talk with you, and keep your best
interests in mind, as you reduce the medicine?

May you find relief.

-George
