Finally went to therapy...diagnosed

I had made a post on here a few weeks ago wondering if I should go through with seeking help to see if I actually have OCD. I finally sucked it up and went through with it;

The diagnosis is moderate to severe OCD.

I'm happy to know what I have; but sad that I have OCD...I feel like its something I'm going to have to cope with for the rest of my life; something thats going to effect the way I can live my life.

The therapist recommended medication to help control the symptoms along with behavioral and cognitive therapy.

I don't know about the meds though; I've heard medication changes you; it makes you into a zombie (not literally lol...but you know what I mean). I'm also afraid of other side effects.

Is anyone here on medication for their OCD? Got any suggestions or advice?
