Yeah, medicines for mental issues are always iffy. I knew someone who took antidepressants and they said it made them very numb and apathetic. Almost like in a coma. Then who knows what all the side effects are. I'd much rather try just going to counseling before adding on a medication. Yet, you gotta do whatever your doctor says is right for you.

I hope you get through this and that the medicine doesn't cause you problems.

don't worry
I've been on antidepressants for a couple years now...
they really do help, once you find out which kind is right for you...

I'm on 150 mg lamictal
I went through about 6 types before I found the right one

Be sure to tell your councilor exactly how the meds make you feel

Have a nice day ;D

I am almost undeniably sure that I underwent some pretty serious depression this year, but I managed to ride it out after some extreme self-psychoanalysis. I basically reformulated my own life and my own way of handling situations. It's too bad someone picked up on your own condition; I too would be wary of the medication, because I have frequently heard that it can make the problem worse.

And maybe you should lay off of that steak and gingerale for a while.

Well, I have been nursing that same meal for awhile now.

I'll change it. By the time you read this, it will most likely be reset.
