Anti-depressants are only a short-term solution.  If you feel it's absolutely necessary to take them by all means do so but don't become too dependent on them.  Good Luck!

When you find the right med or combination of them, it can be a wonderful thing

They correct chemical imbalances in the brain.  I am on a really good combination of anti-depressants & am feeling soooooo much better.  It may take several tries to find the right medication that works for you.

Answer 6

are you a Scientologist?

Anti-depressants compensate for chemical/hormonal balances in brain so you don't kill yourself. its not a permenant solution but neither is spring cleaning but it keeps the rats out........
