So you were fine except for shyness. Why take meds for shyness? It's a personality characteristic and most amenable, if it really bothers you, to group therapy.
I am not a medication or nothing booster. I believe in therapy and other, non-med, changes one can make in one's life. But I'm interested in meds because they have helped me a lot and have failed me and because I suffer from chronic, recurrent and - what I believe to be - biological depression.
If you don't, why post here? Just to be negative and dump on Scott?

And i dont see alot of people that say "hey my depression is gone now". It seems ludicrous to me to put so much hope and trust into medication despite the setbacks. Scott calls that resilience. You may very well be hunting a psychopharmalogical solution for the rest of your life and not live it one bit. Arent you afraid of that at all?
