Ergo, it depends on the person.

If your depression can be managed without medication, that's always the preferable method. But just because something like Effexor causes a side effect, it doesn't mean another will have the same side effect so if you do decide to try medication, don't give up just because one didn't work.
I'm really glad your alive Webgoji.

What upsets me is not someone who tries antidepressants a last resort. What upsets me is the routine prescription of antidepressants to anyone who seems depressed without trying anything else first. I see that happening and I really think that can be a very bad mistake.
