I'm also concerned about taking an anti depressant.... I'm on Ativan now but I think it just acts as bandaid.
Health anxiety is absolutely a "thing". And it can come on at any time, Have you ever seen a therapist about it? It can be treated without meds for some. Others sometimes need meds to help get back to normal. Some take them long term.
