Are you afraid of trying new medications?

I know I am.
I am always weary of trying a new script written by my doctor, I have filled many of them while they still sit in my med drawer, unopened.
I recently had pneumonia twice, second time around, the Urgent Care doc insisted on a different, brand new antibiotic.
I was SO AFRAID to start it. (I am sensitive to anything new, and allergic to many things.) But this time, I gave in.
Pneumonia for the second time was nothing I wanted to mess with. Luckily, no side effects, and it kicked pneumonia’s butt by the second day.

Are you afraid to try new meds? Are you worried about side effects or possible worsening of your symptoms? Has your mind ever “created” side effects right after swallowing the pill just to scare you?
