St. John's Wort is an herbal, over the counter antidepressant. 5-HTP is the precursor to serotonin, sometimes it can work as an antidepressant. Don't take either of these things without telling your doctor first. And if you're seeing a regular doc, not a psychiatrist, you should see a psychiatrist. They are much more knowledgable about depression.
It sounds like zoloft was working for you. Why not try another drug and see if it works without killing your personality? Paxil is supposed to help you be more social.
Yeah, I think every smoker there is including me will be rolling a fat one on friday. If you get caught in the bathroom at my school, you get expelled. I don't know what happens at yours. I smoked in the bathroom once, but never again after that.
Everything is relative. You can see the life you have now as good or bad. Aren't there any happy people in the place that you live? Don't you wish you could be happy?
I can't really say for sure that living a normal life would be more fun than living on the edge. But doing drugs is enough of the edge for me. I think you should try a few more antidepressants, and if you still aren't satisfied, then you can consider other options. What exactly did you want to do?

> What is St. John’s Wort and 5-HTP? I was taking Zoloft for close to a month, at first I saw a change, things would slide off my back alot easier and I would just forget about stuff that would make me depressed. But then the personality thing came along, and I blamed it on Zoloft. Maybe I shouldntve but eather way it wasn't helping my social problems. Plus it made me sweat so bad I woke up every morning thinking I pissed all over myself. I stopped taking it about 8 days ago. My dad is on Paxil, he says that it has helped him with socialization. Is Paxil supposed to help you with this sort of thing? I havn't smoked any weed sense last friday, but I have to this friday, its tradition ;). I used to smoke everyday in the bathrooms at school, not a good idea...
> I said it would cheat me out of a fun childhood because I'm thinking if I become happy with this lame ass life I am living now, I will start to think that this life is fun, when I could actually be having a much more fun life. Anyways, thanks for the post dude, I really appreciate your help.
