I'm an OLD lady of 63. I've been depressed since I was a small chiild. In fact I don't remember ever NOT being depressed. I've been on antidepressants for at LEAST 40 years, if not more. I've never had problems with side effects -- I guess I'm built like a tank. LOL
I too have no friends. I've lived here for over 16 years and have NO friends at all. Where I live, they don't like outsiders, and I wasn't born or raised here, so I'm considered an outsider. They don't like me.  I'd move but I can't afford to -- there's no WAY I'd get what I paid for from this house the way the economy is. I just can't afford to move, and I don't know where I'd go anyway. My sister lives on the other side of the country, and I do NOT want to move way out there.  I love the state I live in -- I just wouldn't know where to go IN it. LOL
Anyway, I can sure relate to you. Being depressed and lonely is a dangerous twosome. Thank God my meds work "fairly" well. I think I need an increase in dosage tho, as I've been feeling pretty crummy lately. I see the doc next week so we may have to have a talk.
I wish you the best -- you can message me any time you'd like. God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
