RJ, just please be careful about going off the meds. When people start feeling better, they often take themselves off. I know it is a decision we have to make for ourselves. I have read a lot of pros & cons about AD meds and the most common side effect for them are sexual LD. Some people had rather put up with the depression than the LD, but others think the LD is a small price to pay in order to feel "normal". So, it is a personal decision. Good luck in whatever you decide. Let me know how you make it without it. I think I took that many years ago, but I don't think it was for very long.....probably not long enough to see any results. My DIL was on that and it did help her. Hope you do well.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
