    I don’t take that medication, but it is a strong one. Remember that no medication is going to completely get rid of fearful thoughts or worry. medication cannot control how we think .

    you have to decide if the side effects are worth it, or not.

    to get fearful, thoughts, or worry under control, that would take practice and a counselor would be someone who could help you with that.
