I think the thing that makes me hesitant the most is that I have tried a combination of both talking to a Christian therapist and taking meds. They helped a little maybe. But I had more 'happy' things around me at that time, and maybe just not as many sad situations to get me down, i dunno. But I was better for a while, or so it seemed. Now i'm just back to feeling depressed again, and the emotional rollar coaster. So to me, it's like why bother? It may help for a little while, but then it will only be a matter of time before I'm right back here again. I do not want to be in a treatment plan for the rest of my life (whether it's meds or therapy) I dont want to have to always need it.

I have tried going back on A/D's... my doc's put me on some for a little while because it supposedly would help my med problems (dizziness), which it didnt... I was on zoloft, which is what I had been on before, for about 3 months or so. then weaned off that. Was off meds for at least a few weeks, then my cardiologist put me on celexa, paxil, and lexapro not more than about a week each, without any time in between... he switched because i was having side effects, most made my dizziness a lot worse and since that was what they were trying to cure... anyway, switching between those meds so fast probably didnt help either, which is part of the reason i'm not seeing that doctor anymore. But the time with zoloft i was actually glad when i was prescribed that because i had already been feeling depressed more at that time, so i was glad for the meds without having to tell my hubby i was going to the doc for A/D meds...
