I'm thinking of listening to a doctor's advice of takind medication against my Ag, but i'm afraid of all of those horror stories about hallucinations and other negative side effects those things can cause. Are my fears justified?

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Medication?

How about an update? Interesting that you had such quick response, and I think that's a good thing because you didn't need so much medication for it to need a long time to build up in your system to produce a desired effect.
You might also be able to continue on a low dose, though increases are often necessary.
Have you continued on the one medicine, did you need to change and try another one or two? Are you able to cope with going out and all that better?

Oh, sorry for not answering your question. An update would be a good idea. I think I will need to increase the dose to a whole pill. The pills worked so well that I had never been able to function so well since I was ten and I almost had no fears, before the last few weeks. How about you?

I don't suffer with agoraphobia. 
As for messing up a presentation? EVERYONE'S BIGGEST fear (well most people's) is public speaking so you are right in step with the rest of the world on that one! No one has a perfect presentation every time (or any time?) Just watch the pros on tv if you want assurance... you'll find errors.
There is a great organization ToastMasters, in the USA who will help you overcome your fear of speaking in public, help you remove "fill words" like um and ahh...and assist you in how to stand, dress etc., for anyone who needs to have all those skills.
