I do not take meds either -- never even considered it until I started therapy and started having panic attacks and intrusive memories. I get the distinct impression that my therapist is not fond of them in general, and has specifically said so in my case. He said it makes it difficult to work through the emotions.
Still, a few months ago I had to go to the emergency room for an anxiety attack that felt like I was having a heart attack. That can't be good or something to work through. My GP suggests medication. The longer and harder this therapy road gets with no end in sight, the more those samples of Effexor she gave me start to look appealing.
So, he did not give you his opinion on meds one way or another?
I will add revisiting the discussion of medication on my list of things I can't seem to discuss with my therapist;)
