Miss B,
Forget all your reasons for NOT taking them. If you are in a funk for a while, then they could be a lifesaver. I took lexapro for a while. Didn't do much except calm me down, but was lethargic and put on a pound a month!
I then stopped taking it without supervision, DO NOT DO THAT!
I then became really bad and went to a psychopharmacologist. Now on wellbutrin and effexor combo and def doing better.
Get a good friend to keep an eye on you as sometimes we are not the best judge of ourselves. Keep an eye on side-effects. Was very nautious after starting zoloft and it wasn't great anyway. God what a rambling reply! Sorry. Is that your baby? cute!
Try psychopharm, went out of network and was worth the money!
