congratulations---you seem to have 'landed' on the safe planet. i applaud your skeptical, cautious stance---now if only more would do likewise, before 'going over the falls' with a rubber ducky. if your depression is endogenous, situational, it'll go away. am i wrong or were you offered ssri's? you imply it. clever move to wait. not many are aware of the fact that at the end of dr. nash's movie, the statement that he was on newer 'atypicals' was a total lie. how the med-gang got thru to hollywood is like asking 'is there a mafia?'---stay cautous, most don't realize that once drugs are 'onboard', the horse is out of the barn. and may never return.
