are you feeling shame that you have to take depression pills?  Don't.  Some people's chemicals in their brains are different and need help.  I felt that way for awhile, felt shame that i had to take a pill to make me feel better but then i thought about it and realized God created doctors to help people like us.

In my experience I was not able to tolerate the antidepressants , so I used anxiety meds. Anxiety meds are more addicting but work faster from what I noticed. Therapy really helps me , they can give you the self talk tools that will help stop the negative thinking.Just be careful with anxiety meds ,before you know it will take twice as much to get the same effect.

Which pills are you talking about and for what have they been prescribed?
Anxiety medications are usually fast acting and you can feel a benfit from them right away.
Antidepressants can take up to 2 months to be fully beneficial and some have side effects initially that go away in time.
If you have anxiety with depression then a good antidepressant is the best solution along with therapy (cognitive behavioral therapy).
When you say you 'have a hard time taking depression pills' what do you mean?
