   Anti depressants don’t change who you are. They return you to who you were before the depression

   Please don’t be scared. If you don’t like the effects, you can always stop taking them or try a different one.

   I was a little scared too when I first started taking mine, but now I feel so free because I have the power to control my own emotions again.

   They do kind of change who you are. I don’t know if it is always for the better, but for me it was. I have been on anti-depressants for 5..6 years? Around that much time. And everyone loves the ‘new’ me. I feel better about my personality, too.

   But it just hurts sometimes when you get a reality check about the new you. Mine was when my mum told me, “I like you better on the meds than off.”

   Anti-depressants won’t change who you are, but they could make you gain 35 lbs in 3 months like mine did. They’ll also make you wish you’d never taken them when it’s time to go off of them. Antidepressant withdrawal is one of the scariest things I’ve ever experienced.

   Try therapy first.

   Antidepressants made me more depressed. I wouldn’t recommend taking them unless it’s a last resort.

   The year I was on antidepressants is lost to me. My engagement, my wedding, my honeymoon… all lost.
