Depression/Anxiety Medication & Therapy

...See more Hi everyone, I’ve been depressed and anxious for a long time since I was in elementary school, but I’m only just now getting help for it (23 now). I started therapy and my therapist told me to consider medication, so I eventually went to the doctor after much reluctance and they prescribed me fluoxetine 20 mg. My therapist told me not to take it and that she thinks it’s wrong for me. My doctor said I can choose a different medication if I want to but I have no idea what would be good. Right now I have trouble with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, sensory issues, and panic attacks My therapist is worried that this medication will increase my sleep problems and suicidal ideation which I’ve struggled with. I was also given a referral to a psychiatrist and don’t know what to expect from this or what I should do. Before my therapist really wanted me on medication and now it seems like she doesn’t. Anyway I’m very confused and don’t know what to do to help myself.
