A about a year and a half ago I went to see a psychiatrist because my disconnection with society wasn't improving. In fact, when I went out with friends I felt like I wasn't even there mentally. This disconnection/detachment continued to get worse and worse as time went on.
Since then (seeing a psychiatrist 1 1/2 year ago and taking medication) I have FULLY recovered from my symptoms of detachment, fear of speaking, fear of people (social phobia) etc.
The point I am trying to address is that the right medication takes (for some people) quite some time before it actually begins to work. Usually people give up on medication after the first week/month because they are not seeing any improvements. I would like to encourage those who are fearful of taking medication or just skeptical of how much it actually works, that it actually does work! You just have to stay committed to taking it, and not give up, like many people do.
Again it has taken over a year for me to see the results I see now. I am pretty much 100% cured! Thought I would share my recovery with everyone who might be thinking of giving medication a chance. I definitely recommend it!
