I have to agree with Noa. I've been several routes...the exercise good lifestyle thing, the psychotherapy thing, and the pharmacology thing. In my experience, nothing worked without medicine. Once medicine had an effect, then good lifestyle and psychotherapy really paid off nicely. I support whatever works for different people. I appreciate having choices that our ancestors didn't have. For me ADs aren't happy pills. Mescaline and LSD might be, but not ADs. For me, ADs allow a somewhat solid foundation on which to build. A foundation that otherwise is quicksand. Unfortunately ADs like anafranil and everything else come with side effects and withdrawals and countless changes in body chemistry, but anyone who's been mentally ill knows the alternatives are much worse.
