Hi waiting As you can already tell we have some of the most caring, thoughtful, understanding folks you will ever met. Just precious. I fought taking depression meds for more than a year. I just knew I could, by sheer will and determination, beat this thing. I couldn't. I have now been on my depression meds for more than 3 years and I am ever more thankful. My life went from greys to vibrant colors. Not because the meds were giving me some kind of high, it was because they replace chemicals in my brain that were missing. I look at depression meds as being much like, say, hypertension meds...without hypertension meds your body can quickly have a heart attack or stroke but with them the chances are greatly reduced. Same with depression meds...they address the needs of the brain much as hypertension meds address the needs of the body. I read somewhere there is a great percentage of people taking depression meds. I hope you listen to your body dear and the colors change for you as they did me. Hugs When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and I could say, "I used everything you gave me." ~ Erma Bombeck
