Antidepressants are only useful if you're depressed, or in my case, have nerve damage.

There may be other uses too, but I wouldn't take them simply to 'aid recovery'.

Please don't post "seek doctor advice"
The reason we say this is because most of us are not doctors - and for those who are, noone here knows your clinical history.

We can share our experience but it would be a mistake to treat any shared experience as medical advice.

What may have worked for someone else may not work, or even be suitable for you.

Meds can help some, but my advice, based on my experience, is to also look into the non medical recovery aids - meeting based recovery groups like AA or SMART or LifeRing..counselling, or inpatient or outpatient rehab.

There's some good ideas on making a recovery plan here too:
