Don't base your decision on one website. Usually the people that make these 'anti-drug' websites are depressed and slighly paranoid to begin with.
They often refer to mouse studies, where mice are fed hundreds-to-thousands the recomended human intake of the drugs just to offset a companies sucess.
One report revealed how certain indiduals start with what they want to prove, then adjust the dose to cause the side effect.
Remember that untreated depression causes significant brain shrinkadge and atrophy, the likes of which cannot be compared to that of SSRI's, which can protect, and reverse this process.
Beleive me there are many anti-psychiary pages that would rather have people living in fear, than enlightened.
If you are concerned, then be sure to use the lowest dose possible, and augement with things like vigerous excercise, folic acid, omega 3, light thereapy, talk thereapy, all all the other usefull tools.
Best of Luck
