I’m 26 and a half and I’ve finally experienced a significant depression. Not that I’m excited about it, but in a way it’s opened my eyes to something that affects 18.8 million American adults. So much has changed in my life since May. The loss of the office, my job, my income, the addition of a family member, getting into school, becoming a house

i know what it feels like to deal with depression. i tried to take it on without meds and i failed miserably. i really didnt want to resort to them, but after all those years i thought to myself "can i really live the rest of my life like this?". my depression stems from a miserable and abusive childhood, so basically im fucked for life. you have a good chance to ridding your depression because its come on more recently. i know you are all smart about meds and prolly already know all this, but my experience is as follows: lexapro - LIFE SAVER! but may have put weight on me, wellbutrin was awful for me, but it works great for some people, effexor wasnt bad and i heard that coming off of it is hell, but i didnt have that bad of a time. thought ive never taken it, ive heard nothing but bad things about paxil (it made my ex suicidal). im on prozac now and its working ok. but if i get the chance to try lexapro again i will gladly jump at the opportunity. different things work for different people
