When my depression returned this year, I fought it for as long as I could before realising that I just wasn't going to get it right without medication. This gave me many feelings of failure and guilt that I couldn't go the self help route. I still wish I didn't *have* to take medication.
My doctor said that just as a vehicle requires fuel to keep it going, the medication would be my fuel. I felt a bit better after that.I understand exactly how you are feeling. Please don't beat yourself up because of the AD's. The fact that you need to take them is not your fault. You are just receiving valuable assistance.
(A couple of days ago I posted that I have had enough of Effexor :) - I should listen to my own advice)
Look after yourself
