[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 126102, member: 1550"] And I want to throw in, as a long time user of antidepressants, that the "adverse side effects" don't effect every user. Sometimes they save lives, such as my own. I was told that I needed to keep taking it for maintenance, and I know that's true. Every time I weaned off an AD, I went straight into a deep depression. Tried Lithium, but it doped me out and I was still depressed. Tried Tegretal--same thing. I personally don't like to take a lot of medications. If one will hold me, that's all I want to take. I know they often combine mood stabilizers and antidepressants, but I often wonder if that just dopes people up--a feeling I hate as much as depression. In fact, it's LIKE depression to feel doped on tons of medications. Anyways, vent over. [/QUOTE]
