I'm curious to hear about people's experience with antidepressants. About two years ago I was put on Citalopram, which is the only antidepressant I've ever had. It worked great! Cut off my depressive/anxious edge and allowed me to work on my problems better, be more serene and feel overall much better. However, a few months ago my doctor decided I'd been on meds for way too long and said I should wean off, which I did, although I wanted to go on because medication is the only thing from the many upon many things I've ever tried (talking, meditation, yoga, relaxation techniques, having a journal, etc.) that has ever helped. Anyway, here I am, months later, feeling depressed like I hadn't been in a long long time. I just began going to therapy, and I hope it works, but I don't seem able to function when I'm off the meds.
So I wanted to ask you how you feel about medication, when you feel better, if on or off meds (many people don't like the idea of being on antidepressant medication), and any other related thought you might want to share.
