I got the same message two years ago from my doctor, but told him I wanted to try to change my lifestyle and diet before I went on meds. Once you go on meds, it is difficult to come off without your body going out of wack... plus I don't want to put synthetic chemicals into my body.
My thing was my lifestyle, lack of regular sleep and eating like shit. I cut back on drinking alcohol, stopped consuming so much diet coke and tried to cut out processed foods. Believe it or not, a lot of the foods you get at chains, even places like the Olive Garden are crammed full of shit that is bad for you, and I was ALWAYS eating out.
I moved towards eating more vegetables, drinking plenty of water, laid off so much beef and within six months my levels dropped significantly. Stress could have also played a factor, which mixed with poor sleeping habits, didn't help.
