Both of you - thanks. I'm feeling better today.

Vital - On the contrary.. I don't think I have an assumption about antidepressants like you seem to think I do. But thanks for the information. It is interesting to hear. And I am taking it into consideration, because I've heard stuff like that before, recently, too, that antidepressants aren't the end all be all.

I'm not sure what to think. I get a lot of information about antidepressants from other people. That it's a good thing (from my therapist and nurse) and that it's a bad thing or just that you can feel better from diet and other lifestyle changes.

I feel very open to not taking any antidepressant. But this is what I'm doing right now. I've struggled with depression for a long time, and this is just the path I'm taking at the moment. But honestly I actually really do want to try going off meds sometime.

ps: Vital, where I come from, people see nurses all the time for psychiatric medications. I think her title is a psychiatric nurse.
