I've had depression a couple of times in my life, used to say I would never try medication but this last time I decided to give a go. The Dr put it to me that if I had a headache I would take something for it so why view mental health differently. I was worried about side effects, a friend pointed out if I didn't take anything I would get no effect at all.

It's working really well for me. No nasty side effects. I feel normal again.

It's totally your choice, and I hope whatever you choose to do one way or another you will get to a better place soon.
