: I posted on this awhile back, about how DH drained my account. Anyways, things have still not changed, and we have now been seperated for about 3 weeks. (our 3rd anniversary is next week) At first he wanted counselling, and I told him to go ahead and book it, now 3 days later he dont want. To keep a long story short, I need help, I was strong at first, but now am starting to crack. I booked myself a counselling appt tonight. Im gonna go with or without him. I've made numerous sucide attempts (with pills, 3 years ago, and Im not doing that now I have a son to live for) but I wanna get the help before I feel like that again. Hi Tina, sorry to hear of your situation. I dont have any experience with serious depression but I do with Anxioty! I was put on prozac for that and it made a world of a difference. I know all drugs are different and most have some common side effects...but in all honesty you don't have to live your life the way you are. I was afraid to go on the med's becuase I was afraid I would end up relying on it forever. Well I'm off of it now and didn't even have to ween myself like they suggest. I really didn't experience any side effects while taking the drug either. I guess what I'm trying to say is dont let the fear of side effects prevent you from getting your life back and on track! I say go for it and regain and your life and enjoy your son! Good luck Jennifer S.

: My question is about depression. Is anyone on medication for depression, and if so what side effects do you suffer, any pro's or con's? Relapses? Is there any herbal remedies I could try first? I have heard of St. John's Wart, but dont know much about it. Im scared about the thought of suffering side effects from medication.
