Most of them either didn't work, worked only briefly or worked, but had too many side effects. But I persisted in trying what was available. Now I'm on one that works *very* well with only mild side effects, and I"m so glad I stuck with trying several until we found one that works well. Just know, most anti-depressants have some side effects, but most of those side effects go away after a couple months, so give it time. I also go to (talk) therapy. I think it's important to have therapy in addition to medication. I hope you stick with it and do well. PM me if you'd like to talk.[/quote] FAQ Keyword Search: Post Options Favorites Manager Notify me of new replies to this topic by email Notify me of new replies to this topic by private message Original Post Anonymous Posted at 5:52 pm on July 5, 2008 If you have been put on depression meds what kind did they prescribe you? and what have the results been? good/bad.
