Nasty Feelings

A personal story in the experience: I Am Against Antidepressants
A ntidepressants are such bullshit. I think pharmaceutical companies could actually manufacture drugs that remedy or cure mental illness, but they make more money selling funky pills that make you feel so-so and never really alleviate the problem. I've tried Zoloft, Lexapro and Celexa and I'd say I've taken too many already. "Magic bullet" cures don't work anywhere besides fairy tales.

When I was with my ex I was put on Celexa...I didn't like how it made me feel and I realized that taking the pills only masked the problem, once I got rid of the problem..happiness and stability returned.

I believe that Strangeone has made a very valid point. Therapy can get you so far - but if you are so down that you can't help yourself then you need chemical assistance to bring you to a level where you are able to help yourself. And even then - after all the therapy in the world, if you happen to suffer from a chemical imbalance you will need some level of medication always to correct that.
