I've always been against meds especially the idea of anything like AD's. I grew up in a vegetarian household and my mom didn't even have asprin in the house. So I'm probably more anti-med than a lot of people (and definitely can't tell my mom about the Celexa!). I also "think" I'm the most together, reasonable, low key person on the planet so I never would have considered myself a candidate for ADs, but it has been a really interesting experience.
Originally when I went to the doctor I didn't want an AD, I only wanted something like Zanex for the monthly emotional stuff and the holidays which can be stressful for me, but the doctor wanted me to try the Celexa. I was really hesitant at first, but now I'm glad I did. Both my husband and my kids think I'm much easier to be around (and I never did think I had a problem).
I would never say someone should or shouldn't use this stuff, but for anyone stuggling with with a difficult situation I think it's something to consider.
There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
