Hi, Rainee. :) I was always reluctant to take meds too and didn't find any of them particularly helpful in the long run. I've posted elsewhere about my experience with magnesium and how I now feel completely free of depression. Here is the site that helped me: http://www.coldcure.com/html/dep.html I've also found the book, "Depression Free Naturally" by Joan Mathews Larson to be very helpful. This book evolved from her experience treating alcoholism, which is primarily what her site is about, but there's lots of info there for nonalcoholics too: http://www.healthrecovery.com/biochemical_depression.html. Melody Clark has an informative site for depression as well, including recommended books for natural treatment: http://depressionbookstore.com/
Have you investigated any of the natural remedies such as amino acids, fish oil, or considered your diet in terms of mood? Generally -- but not always, so one has to be knowledgeable and careful -- they will be less hazardous in terms of side effects.
