Don't know about the med, but I'm really like you when it comes to taking meds--I have to believe they make a difference because we all know doctors don't have all the answers, now do they.

From what I read it is another drug I would avoid like the plague. The side effects sound worse than the condition. I had a bout of depression once a long time ago. Got out of it on my own without meds. The cause was utter exhaustion from a long period of MaryContraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350460293199385621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20703123.post-73128459299320904832010-12-30T00:54:35.417-05:002010-12-30T00:54:35.417-05:00Sorry about Miss Ruby, but that was nice that your...Sorry about Miss Ruby, but that was nice that your ex took you to your appointments and even out to lunch. <br /><br />Depression and anxiety are extremely prevalent in our family and I am one of the fortunate ones who tolerates some anti-depressants well.

It's important to let be what is-- especially during the holidays when there is so much pressure for some kind of idyllic holiday experience.
