Does anyone have any suggestions or experience about medication, and for what? Depression?
There are more than one type of depression and different levels. I don't know what side-effects your W is talking about unless it's weight gain (and even then, it depends on what you take). I've never heard of it altering who you are.
I have had the blues, the blahs,......and I've had depression. My heart goes out to people who have it so badly that consider ending their life. But, I've experience it enough to kind of understand how a person could get to that point.
It was more than than depression itself that had me so messed up. My hormones, lack of thryoid, etc., was doing a number on me. For a very long time, I felt dead on the inside and had no motivation towards anything....especially my M. The rest is found in my threads.
AD's are not like taking a pep pill that speeds you up or turns you into Jeckle & Hyde. It can help you feel "normal" (like your old self) and give a more sense of well-being. When you have that....then you start to feel more motivated in life.
I'm not advertising for AD's, but I for one, am thankful to have them.
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!
