I agree with Fuzzy and Dexter that meds don't equal failure.

I've was put on an antidepressant cocktail at one point. You have to keep in mind that I'm in my very early 20's and many side effects of antidepressants won't be side effects for someone older. Also, I suffer from very frequent passive suicidal ideation. Putting me on antidepressants was a risk, at best. To put me on the amount he did, just made things worse, along with being on three different ones. For the first week I had headaches, was tired during the day and couldn't sleep at night. I became very drained. The only good side effect was that I had fewer panic attacks. I was going to be willing to put up with everything if it lifted my depression. The thing is, not only did I have an inability to have emotion, my passive suicidal ideation turned into obsession. You can see where I'm going with this.
They switched my meds up a couple times to no avail. So, my experience hasn't been great. I wish that they would've helped because if anything could make these thoughts and feelings go away, at this point, I'd take it in a heart beat.
