Started my meds not sure how I feel about them. A sleeping pill and a depression pill. Felt kinda sick and tired today but I know my body has to get used to them. Just having second thoughts about them though.

Between the two, I wouldn't let second thoughts change taking the depression pill on my own. There can be consequences to a thing like that, so tapering off with your doc's safer if your second thoughts lead you to want to quit that one.

As for the sleeping pill, over the counter Melatonin works for me with less side effects. I took Ambien, and wow does it have side effects. Melatonin got me the sleep I needed without them.
