Anti depressants have very different side effects for different people. They vary by dosage too.
None of us here can accurately tell you whether you should or shouldn't try them. All we can let you know is really our own personal experiences.

Lexepro gave me one huge mood swing at 15 mg and at 20 mg made me have concentration problems. Prozac made me sick. Wellbutrin 300mg worked the best for me. I know I needed it to be strong enough to work through my issues with a T and without it I almost definitely would have commited suicide (ie I needed it not to avoid my problems but to be able to work through them.)

Now however I am trying to learn how to deal with life without them and have been questioning going back on meds (I've been off them since Febuary with my doctor and T's approval).

It's been hard working on dealing with my problems rationaly now that I don't have a stable mood anymore. But I don't want to be on meds the rest of my life so I'm going to have to face this at sometime or other... I might as well do it now when I'm surrounded by a good support system. Plus I made it through withdrawal once (flu symptoms for a week in my case) and I don't want to have to go though that again.

So basically that's what my situation was. I hope whatever you choose to do works well for you. My last thing, as someone mentioned before, is don't expect this to go fast or perfectly smooth the first time. Most meds take around 2 weeks to a month to take effect and doctors basically have to play guess and check to find what med will work for someone. It's not easy and at times the side effects do get frustrating. It can be tiresome to have a doctor constantly say "Well, this isn't working right o lets try this one".

In the long run I'm glad I chose meds because I know I probably wouldn't have made it through without them. Some people regret making this choice, some people are glad they did.

I hope everything works out for you, whatever your decision may be.
