For me I don't think it really worked. I took Prozac, Wellbutrin and Zoloft... not all at once. But to be fair, I didn't really give therapy and the meds a real chance at the time. Since you've mentioned that you used to take your mother's prescription meds, I just want you to be mindful of the fact that the meds your pdoc may prescribe will not "fix" you. It will make it bearable. The rest is up to you. Just take it one day at a time.
