Redd, not all medications are bad. I've been depressed since I was a very small child.

If it wasn't for medications I'm sure I'd be dead now. I've been thru therapy and that helped, but I was still depressed. I HAD to have medications, and now I feel GOOD. Things look brighter, and I have lots of hope. Medications CAN make a huge difference. The meds that I'm on didn't cause any side effects. There ARE some like that. And most side effects go away with time. So talk to your doctor or therapist if you have one. If you don't have a therapist, GET ONE. You do need to talk to someone. Therapy DOES HELP.

I wish you the very best. God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee
