How impaired are you? Since you're not suicidal or psychotic, I would think that the wait-and-see approach would be a valid option. One reason placebos score so high in depression treatment studies is that depression tends to remit after a while, with or without medical intervention.
Meds can sometimes improve the quality of life, though. That is..if they work, and if the side effects are bearable. I hate to be such a Debbie Downer/Bummer Bob, but we both know the meds aren't always that great. Have you tried supplements? Is therapy an option for you? What meds, if any, have worked in the past for you symptoms?
