Please share your experiences on psychotropic medications.

I guess I will start by saying that I am an unhappy person trying to figure out how to be happy. Ironically, a lot of my unhappiness comes from overanalysis as to why I'm not happy. For the past few months I have been trying to figure out if I have aspergers syndrome. My psychologist has been vehement in saying I don't have it, although I do have some problems that people with aspergers have even though I have been told I do not come across socially awkward. For whatever reason, I cannot drop this from my mind, and it has been a source of more anxiety. I have been in therapy for social anxiety for almost 6 months now, and I have about reached the point where I am seriously considering psychotropic medication. Part of me feels like I am giving up by trying medication because I feel like I should be able to be happy without having to rely on meds. My goal is to use them for the short term and continue therapy in an effort to become a happier person. If anyone cares to share about their experience with medication, I would be greatly appreciative, especially if your story is similar to mine. Thanks reddit.
