Hi, You are at the mercy of no one. While you need the medication, then do the best you can on it. As one who tried all the 'natural' remedies; forget it, they do not work for real depression, only for the mildest of cases or not at all. I was on Paxil for a while which worked very well for me. Later I was on Prozac for well over a year. It did help me, I also took Xanax when needed, especially for insomnia. I have a friend on Prozac 10 years; it works for her. I am down now just to Xanax for sleeping, and off the AD meds since I was able to destress my life and stop working [I'm early retired]. Take it one day at a time. You have a voice and support on this Message Board.
Regards,
Jy
