I finally went to see someone regarding my depression. I've been seeing a therapist for the past couple weeks and she though that I would benefit from talking to the pdoc about meds as the combination of meds and therapy can be beneficial.

So earlier today I saw the psychiatrist and after talking with me thought I'd definately benefit from medication. At this point he narrowed it down to Paxil or Zoloft. He said Paxil would probably have a more sedating affect so I opted for Zoloft.

Now I am aware that most anti-depressants have side effects and that was a big thing I had to get around before willing to try meds. So tonight I thought I'd do some research online and came across some sites that seemed to think Zoloft had the possibilty to be quite dangerous:

It is just starting to make me very nervous, could I possibly be doing more damage than good with taking meds??
