yes, I had to get on some because I was just to depressed and could barely function. The first set I was on had a wrong reaction and I actually become even more depressed but was able to tell very quickly. I talked to my doctor and they gave me another type. I had to adjust the amount I was taking from a whole pill to a half because they made me real sleepy but once that was all worked out, I felt sooooo much better. It was like before I was walking in quick sand and no matter how hard I tried to get out I just couldn't. The pills allowed me to step and and start taking control of my life. They do not eliminate the pain but if you are not functioning and just going through the motions, they will help.

I'm on Celexa and I think it's helping me stay positive and not dwell on negative emotions/ thoughts.

If you really need it use it. After you know the effects on your body then go for help. Yes it will help.

Consider that the skeleton crew of your emotions, then plan accordingly and put your priorities in order, Anger, frustration, grieving, speaking, friends, etc. Time will help and cure. Trust me.

Oh yes,

Depression is my enemy. i have been on them nearly 2.5 years now and there is no sign that I will be going off any time soon.

For me, they made the difference between survival or doing something stupid.

Yup, sure have been on antidepressants. Let's face it - sometimes life does throw us some curve balls that are just toooooo much. This can be one of them. No shame in that.

Yes, and anti-anxiety med. Off both now, but they really did help.
