I have read all the posts from the beginning and am very grateful to have found this site. I have had depression for many years and tried many anti depressants over the years but experienced such irritating side effects that i could never benefit from the therapeutic dose. For about 6 years now i have been "managing" my depression with therapy, exercise, 12 step meetings, and spiritual readings but i know in my heart i cannot manage the depression on my own. The problem i have is that based on previous experience with trying various meds i have developed a huge phobia of taking anything that will alter me physiologically. Thus, my question is does anyone have any experience with how to combat or overcome the fear of taking the medication in the first place so i can see if it will benefit me and treat my depression? Thanks for any input. Susan
