I have to say that I also think along the lines of Guy and Linkadge.
For me it kicked off when I was 21, and seriously, a good round of CBT and 'healthy living' would have sorted me out.
I honestly regret taking the pills. I spent a year and a half on celexa, being a walking zombie. All I could do was sleep and eat, and I had no abmition or drive or things like that. I regret that immensely.
Healthy living, some herbs, a good bout of exercise are what I live on now, and I'm really well. I need to add in therapy, something i haven't done yet (mainly due to fianical constraints) but I am hoping to try.
I would suggest that if you don't have anything 'super-serious' (for lack of a better word) like schziophrenia, or bipolar, or really really really bad depression then the drugs just aren't worth it.
I dunno. Maybe we live in a 'quick fix' society and just think its easiest to fix things with a pill = no work involved.
Kind regards
Meri
