I struggled with the idea I might have to start taking anti-depressants in order to aid my recovery from depression. My anxiety had gotten so bad I spiraled into a depression I couldn’t seem to do anything about relieving. I have spent a long trying all the other treatments including behavior and cognitive therapy, but I still have anxiety attacks. I still think the therapies can work, but in the meantime I needed to be able to function. So the doctor suggested taking a mild anti-depressant medicine in addition to continuing other treatments.
This was a tough decision for me, because I really abhor taking prescription medications unless absolutely necessary. This is a very personal issue with me and not due to any problems with drugs in the past. I just believe in clean and healthy living and not putting anything into the body that’s not necessary.

It’s been a disappointment to me that I’ve had to deal with anxiety and depression (but that’s another whole story). I agreed to try the mildest drug possible, and hope that I can stop taking it within the next 6 months.
