Maxime, I'm sorry that you're going through such a rough time now. I am in full agreement with you that these meds cause more problems than they're worth. I really do believe that, for many of us, the drugs make us worse than we were at baseline. I really wish I'd never taken anything. That doesn't mean I don't need an antidepressant, and it doesn't mean that the right medicine won't be available some day. It just means that the currently available meds are not right for me, and they're not right for many of us. If you do decide to get off of the meds you're on, please do it S-L-O-W-L-Y!!! If you get off the meds too quickly, you're likely to go into a rebound depression. Slow and steady is the way to go.
