fuji - I got the impression you meant "recovery from addiction" rather than depression. There are other posters going through the same thing. If you check the archives (or just continue reading) you will find many, some of whom seem to have been quite successful dealing with addiction. Of course, if they are posting here they probably have not yet been so successful at beating depression so this won't answer your question of whether depression is inevitable. - jane

I am a recovering addict (15+years), have been on various anti-depressants for the past 10 years or so currently taking efxr & prozac and considering ritalin augmentation. I have been wondering if any others are recovering, and also I wonder if there is such a thing as an addict recovering or not recovering, that doesn't suffer from depression? I guess I think that addiction is just a form of self-medicating the depression but unfortunately, the resulting addiction brings with it its own set of problems. Just curious because I don't recall seeing anyone mention recovery?
