No meds for major depression - psychotherapy and acupuncture. I am now taking meds (Effexor XR, stabilized at 75mg a day) for dysthymia, which I realized was still affecting me (I've had it since I was 13, so I'm just learning what it's like to be OK as an adult, at 34).
If I had to redo it all, I'd take the meds earlier, now that I realize even the 21 year old dysthymia is going away with them. I'd still go for the acupuncture and the therapy though, sonce they did help me a lot.
