What’s been your experience of antidepressants or anti anxiety medication ?

Suffering with extreme insomnia

So i was born in India and moved to the uk pre pandemic.
I started anxiety meds when i was 16. Took them for one year. Then again at 19 had to restart and took them till i was 23. I didn't want to be on meds for these issues. The next two years i did suffer from mild anxiety to no anxiety.
However, it soon increased to moderate levels as i was about to get married and a whole lot was going on in my life.
It took some convincing and I ended back on antidepressants.
It took some time to get well and this time I decided not to taper them off.
I got married and became pregnant at 27, moved to the uk pre pandemic and never felt more than mild anxiety at some really serious times.
So for me it's been a blessing.
Just let me know if you need some particular information like taking them during pregnancy or side effects and so on .
