Thanks, they are all valid points.
My doctor has put me on an AD called zoloft. I've had it for about 6 weeks now, it doesn't seem to do much, so they increased the dosage this week.
My W takes lexapro and has on and off for a few years. It scares me that I am now in this position and relying on medication to get by. I always used to worry about my W taking that stuff, as she has such a history in her family of bipolar and depression: her mom and sister.
I would never tell my W about this. I feel it would make me look even weaker and more pathetic, as I always had such a negative view about these drugs when she was on them.
