I agree with you. Isn't it strange just to have someone say that. It is for me. The only thing I had to add was that my husband had been an alcoholic for years. It made me and my kids miserable because all he did was fuss all the time after he had about a 12 pack which was every night. One night during a fight about quiting drinking, he threw in my face that I was no different than he was. He said that I had to have my antidepressants (like they were a street drug) and he drank to make himself feel better. I told him there was a big difference. (Boy, it made me so mad that he said this to me.) I didn't get a get good feeling by taking my ADs, they helped me cope with his crap and my depression and because of taking the Ads, I was a better person. I was taking them for all of us. His drinking was for his own self and only hurt all of us. By taking the ADs, I was a better wife and mother, yet his drinking only made him less of a father and husband to us. Anything in moderation (as they say) I don't think is so terrible if it helps you to get by if it doesn't hurt anyone else. We are trying to improve our lives with our meds and at the same time are trying to be better people to those around us. I don't think that of "street drug junkies." I think it's all about theirselves. I bet you feel better sence you vented and got that all out of your system. Many of the things you stated goes for most of us. I started out like you on Effexor 6 years ago and now have become dependent on meds to try to "fix" me. I too am not the person I use to be before the meds started and regret ever starting them. I've lost my emotions to them and my sanity has since been slowly disappearing too, even with all the meds.
