There is a book on the market entitled, "The Depression Cure", author, Stephen S. Ilardi, PhD.
It is a very informative book with issue of dealing with dpression without the use of antipressants. It advocates a six step program to free yourself from meds.
In reading this book u will learn that the recovery rate of people taking meds is only twenty eight percent. That's a very small percentage when u consider how many millions of Americans are taking meds.
You may consider an alternate means of dealing with your depression. don't talk to your T about it because they are in bed with the pharmaceutical companies in pushing meds on the entire population.
I suggest that if u have access to a computer that u spend time doing your own research on the topic.
I've been off meds for about two years now. I exercise, go for long walks, pray, and meditate. You can do the same.
Good lock and i hope u find this info useful.

This isn't the first time this has happened while on these or any other meds. I still get weeks where I get super depressed. Usually for no real reason. Why? I don't want to live this way. I see no huge change between me constantly medicated and sporadically medicated. And only possibly a difference between that and no meds at all!
