SSRI's that I've tried made me depressed too. It s*cks that mental healthcare is so archaic in the UK, but even in the US it is for those without insurance, or those w/o adequate insurance. And the cost of 1 Rx for psychotropics can run a couple of hundred dollars a month. Who can afford much of that?!
And just a heads up for those in the US. I have a friend who runs a large oncology group here in the US, and she said that the 5 major insurers are posing themselves for national healthcare in the US. I want everyone to have insurance, but not if it's going to be like the NHS, and even in Canada, I've heard nightmare stories. Let's hope there's something better.
