Hi, Ive been suffering from depression on and off for almost three years now. So far, I have tried to work through things through counselling and with the support of friends and family.
However, my sister overdosed last week and although she is physically fine (she lives in Australia and I have just moved to Canada), the fact that I cant be with her and that I did not know what was happenin in her life, has kind of left me hanging by a thread.
So, I am going to see a doc and am curious as to whether anyone has taken medication, what worked, what didnt work etc. I guess Im really scared of side effects and feel weak for having to depend on meds…also I have babies so I dont want anything that is going to affect my ability to take care of them.
I have heard good things about Prozac and bad things about xanax and apopax but am interested in any personal experience
Thanks!
