A few years back when I was on anti-depressants they were all prescribed by a psychiatrist and I was also going to counseling at the same time from ages 14-17. Like i said, I havent been on any medications in about 2 1/2 years. I took at least 4 or 5 different kinds and none of them worked that well for me. That whole time when I was going through all of that was pretty bad. A few weeks after I quit I felt I had awoken from over 2 years of a bad dream or I felt I was finally alive again even though the depression came back slightly.

Honestly, I just dont know anymore. I was so sure I was done taking them forever but right now I cant really function much with my depression and bad anxiety. Its just that all of the medications I took had bad side effects that I just cant deal with. I was trying to see if there are any natural things to help with depression and anxiety or possibly medications with little to no side effects. The weight gain that a few of them gave me, and the complete lack of sex drive really make me never want to take those again.
