>I can only second what others have said. Perhaps the hardest part to taking ADs is needing to acknowledge that there is a chemical imbalence that is outside of your control and that you need medication to manage. But that is a reality and I found that when I stopped fighting that I was better able to accept the need to be on meds. (The side effects do get better over time)
Good luckHi Gerti..
