I tried several antidepressants and I think I actually got worse on Paxil and Prozac--I got very apathetic and a little reckless--I actually STARTED doing drugs while on these!! Plus they made me so exhausted and vegetative! But after those experiences I was a little afraid of trying again, but I am now on Wellbutrin and Cymbalta for a few years and it has totally changed my life for the better. Still having a hard time quitting drinking/drugs, but amnow determined to do my best every day to stay sober, and I think with that final step I will be able to begin the best phase of my life. You truly do have to find the correct medicine for you.
