These drugs are sadly not the answer, but can worsen your depression, thinking & outlook. When I see commercials re antidepressants that list suicide as a side effect—how can that even be for an antidepressant or anti-anxiety?!

I’m so sorry that you are up & down with SSRIs. I think you need to find a good doctor, schooled also in holistic & see if you can wean off these drugs & what else you can do to make yourself more healthy. I also have a dear friend who has been using SSRIS for years & she isn’t the same person I used to know. And she also finds it tough to go w/o.

So if you find a solution, do share.

Maybe Midwestern doc can do a follow up article on resources to help people?
