Dealing with depression isn't easy. People think you just have to take a pill. RIGHT! Meds almost did me in because of a reaction that sent my heart into tachacardia. I've helped develop two meds for depression (Prozac and Cymbalta) and neither did me any good. Counciling helped me deal with the post traumatic stress so I don't need the meds now.

I hear ya. I hit rock bottom in late 1995 before we had the kids. I was put on Prozac (thank you!) for a few years including through my pregnancy with son. A few years later I was switched to Celexa and Wellbutrin.

Geeze, sorry to hear of your tachycardia, that must have been scary.

I didn't have counseling, just meds and am coping pretty well most days.

Hubby went down in 1999, he had counseling but no meds, and so far he's doing well.
