Hi!
I have major depression and have been on a variety of meds over the past 3 years since diagnosis. I'm wondering if it is typical for us as patients to have certain side effects which we are willing to tolerate and others which we are not and therefore we may resist taking those meds and want to try others. And if so, does this extend even to those meds which have been proven to help us in our ideation? You see, my doc is convinced that lithium (along with an antidepressant) is a matter of life or death for me but I hate the side effects of lithium and frankly, feel as though I'd rather die than deal with them. Does this make me crazy?

Thanks.
