I was too. Especially since I was on a drug when I was a teenager that did not help my depression so I OD on it trying to make them work. It was especially scary since I ended up in the hospital due to the OD. Years later and newer less adictive medications have been made I gave them a try again. The second time I realized I was doing it again. I expected the drugs to preform all the work. Even begging for higher and higher doses to make me feel better. I am now on 10 mg. of Prozac. I decided to make this my dose till I can recognize the benefits and accept some of the responcibility for my behavior myself. It is still hard however, I do know the Prozac is working some to eliminate my depression. However, I will be continuing to discuss what works best for me as this goes on. It could be a different drug but I will keep my doses low and recognize my own part in managing my depression. They say Cognitive Behavior Therapy is mandatory along with taking any drugs. You don't want to be reliant on them, just use them to help get through tough times.
