Re: <I would put myself in the "high functioning" depressive group, except for approx 3 x in life.
The weirdest thing is that people around me who see me work as a lawyer, even when I'm freaking out inside, think of me as sociable and competent, but pretending to be fine really took a toll on me. I actually closed my practice for two years, and have been just doing work for other lawyers. It has been hell on my ego, but much needed.
Back to the topic at hand. I think a lot of these meds are lifesavers for people, and some people need to just stay on them. My preference is to take nothing if I can get away with it. The withdrawal experiences people had with Effexor have scared me off of it after just three days, and I feel better today than I did on the drug. I'm really hoping I don't start suddenly having brain zaps or something after only being on it short time.
