Thanks Guys, especially madisgram.
its reassuring to know that you people have been on antidepressants for a while, the maximum I have been is for 2yrs on fluoxetine 10mg and was ok during that period, but when i am of it even little things stresses me out and i become anxious and depressed.
maybe its about time i go on long term antidepressants, i am recently divorced and dont know if me being on medications will affect my future relationships. Bit worried as i am a professional and taking meds will be considered as a sign of weakness.
