Let me clue in anyone who happens to come across this and any other "success" stories about using anti depressants.  They will not work and have been proven to not work.  You myaswell be shoving a sugar pill down your throat once a day.  I took 3 types of anti-depressants for periods of 3-6 months along with antianxiety medications (as I was forced to take them due to some incompetent psychiatrist legally forming me).  I noticed no change in my symptoms and at the time everyday I felt like the world would end for me.  The pills made me fall asleep in class twice sometimes 3 times a day.  Eventually I told my doctor and psychiatrist I would see them in court before I took another one of their tranquilizers.  Its now been over 2 years and I have chosen what I believe to be the better form of treatment after trying psychotherapy, prozak, zoloft, paxil, and activities I enjoy.  My final decision: smoke marijuana once a day when you desperatly need the mood change. Im not a doctor, but it works!! Anyone who thinks it would impair them at work or at home with their family either hasn't tried it or is listening to the american propaganda (thanks to nixon).  Canada has allowed the use of medicinal marijuana for many purposes it just so happen depression is one of them.  Their is a process involved and im still awaiting my mental health specialist and doctor to sign the forms. but for now it is the only alternative unless you want to be tranquilized for the rest of your life.  On a final note those pills you were prescribed that you claim helped you?  Did your psychiatrist even bother to tell you the long term effects?  Probably didn't you know why? BECAUSE NOBODY KNOWS scary thought!!!
