Keep in mind that anti-dep is not real easy to use. Not like popping a few tylenols for a headache. It takes a couple of weeks to get stabilized in your system, and -- if you choose to get off -- you have to take your time weaning yourself off. Going cold turkey can give you bad side effects. Also if one doesn't work well, your doctor can have you try another. All have side effects, like sleepiness, and impact on sex drive, etc.
Seriously discuss the benefits carefully vs. costs w/ your doctor. If you feel like depression is making it hard to function at home and/or work ... it could be worth it to go on it for a few months.
I'd like to hear more about what you got out of phone coaching.
For me, my IC has been my main counselor... along w/ reading this forum.
