I just started college 2 days ago are starting my antidepressants a good or bad idea?

College is stressful. I love it even though I'm stressed and anxious all the time. Meds can help. I had issues with the same thing, not wanting to be a different person but wondering if the meds will help. I stopped fighting my doctor as much and am now on cymbalta. I am still the same person. I also have a lack of friends. how about joining a club? Its a great way to meet people and you don't have to really try too hard.
