honestly, i would try some natural alternatives before taking that big pharma scam bullshit...
L-Theanine + Kava Kava works real well for anxiety and calming the body down
SAMe / GABA / L-Trytophan / St Johns Wort - Lots of excellent customer feedback on these for depression
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING .... Vitamin D3
The whole premise behind the anti-depressants is more placebo than anything, the goal is to make you think ur going to be better so you get out in the sun and be more active, which will make u feel better.

^ I agree that tablets aren't for everyone, but there are studies showing antidepressants efficacy especially in moderate to sever depression and some people do need them - although I agree it is the lifestyle changes and psychological work that make the real difference. For me, the antidepressant allowed me to make these changes. I was on Prozac for a while and it helped me, but YMMV of course and really this is a discussion to be had between a patient and a doctor.
We used to have a lot of these threads but as they are more medical than HR-for-recreational-drug-use and as each individual case is different and should be discussed fully with a doctor, they aren't really appropriate here..
riptaz, I'm going to close this but if you had a specific HR question about your medication, or any other queries, please feel free to shoot me a pm. There is also a lot of information on psychiatric treatments inc antidepressants in the TDS directory in my sig
