Has anyone taken anti-depressants for a long time? Can
someone give advice on that? How was it? Does it really make you
feel better? I'm thinking of going on them but I fear
so.

I've been on mine for a few years, and I think it's helped! It really takes a bit of time to find what works for you. There are so many types, so there is a process of going through a trial and error period. Don't be discouraged if you don't find the right one right away! Also never hold back anything from your doctor/prescriber. If they're not working or if you're having negative side effects: speak up. It's really about being your own advocate. They're not for everyone, but I think they really helped me. My biggest piece of advice is this: people's biggest mistake is thinking that it will be a cure-all. It won't; they're a tool that are meant to help, but there is still a lot of other factors in one's recovery. So don't hesitate to talk to your doctor and find out if they can help you!! Hope all works out. :) 1reply
