How can a stave off depression?????

Question

I have suffered from depression before and stopped taking my meds. (cipralex)

Some things have happened recently and I feel like I'm slowly sinking deeper every day but I don't want to go back on anti depressants as the doc said the next time it would be for life.

I have tried 5-HTP for all the good it does and I've tried clary sage and relaxation but so long as my problems are there I can't see a way out. Please help me with suggestions...

Answer 2

Medication has saved my life.  I did not want to be one of those people who relyed on medication, but it is necessary for me.  I hope that you decide to go back on medication.  It takes a while sometimes to find the correct one.
