I really resented my meds when I first went on them. I thought I should be able to manage on my own. Well the point was I wasn't managing. Once the anti-d started to work it was like a black cloud lifting. I'd been depressed for so long I'd forgotten what normal felt like, the drugs were like a miracle for me. Same thing when I went on an anti-p. No way - those were for crazy people. But it helped. I'll neve forget the day I first upped the dose I'm on from 2 -3 mg. I had some nasty side effects, but I felt like I felt 20 years ago, before my MH problems started.

Now you'd have to fight me to get me off my meds.

Depression is like any other disease, it can be and deserves to be treated.
