Anti depressants CAN BE great, but only if they work.

One size does not fit all, and it can feel as if we're failing in our recovery if something that has helped one person does not work for us. Another failure is the last thing we need while we're trying to recover.

I'm glad that ADs have helped you, though. They have been somewhat helpful to me in the past, too, although they always led to enormous weight gains, which ended up making me feel as bad as the depression had.
