So's aspirin for that matter. And we don't tell people with arthritis to change their environment and skip the meds. Depression is a medical illness that oftens requires medications to treat it. ToriGirl, were you taking the antidepressants while you were using? If so, then you probably didn't give them a fair trial. They don't tend to work properly when we're using. I know from experience as well as education. I'm not trying to be argumentative, but I have a strong opinion also. I'd hate to see teach here give up a career she's passionate about rather than "rely on" medication to appropriately treat depression. Just my two cents.
Love and hugs,
