I should also add that when I was first on meds, prescribed by my medical doc and I didn't do follow up care, they did seem to work but they also made me feel a little numb... I couldn't cry at movies anymore and that was noticable. I stopped taking them "because" of that (really I was too depressed to want to keep trying).

Now I have something I think is working and I definitely do not have the numbness (I welled up at the last episode of Gilmore Girls )... So although some people they don't like the meds because it makes them numb that is not always the case... and it may be that it never has to be the case if you keep working with your pdoc. I don't know if people who complained about the numbness ever followed up with their pdoc to try to find a different combo that would work without the numbness, or if they just "accepted" the numbness and/or gave up.

I mention because I know it is a concern of a lot of people and was something I was afraid of when I began this journey.
