I think perhaps this thread might have been taken the wrong way to an extent.
If the meds help you then they absolutely do have their place and should definitely be taken.

I just feel anti depressants are seen as the be and end all cure for mental illness and personally for me they've never helped my Depression/Anxiety/Anorexia/OCD. Perhaps I've just not found the right one but they've only ever clouded my thoughts and made me feel "drugged up", and apathetic and for me personally it's not a nice feeling, I'd rather be clear in thought and sharp. It gets frustrating when you try and tell a psychiatrist this and they don't believe you and try to make you take more or a different type.
If they do help you however then that's good and they certainly do have their place in medicine.
