In reply to Does Anyone Ever Really Get Better?, posted by AlexandriaS on April 11, 2004, at 11:53:04
> Hello Everyone,

> I am new to the board. I am concerned that the medications we are given often do more harm than good, although my doctor tells me that is "my depression talking". Sometimes I wish I never started taking medication for depression. Even when it works, the results never last, and the illness gets worse as time goes by. I often wonder whether it is a natural progression of the illness or a result of the drug treatment? I guess no one knows and the pharmaceutical industry certains doesn't want to know. From the looks of the posts on this board, a lot of people experience the same thing. I would just like to stop all the medications but am afraid that it is too late. Sorry for the negativity but I have pretty much lost hope. Has anyone out there ever really gotten better and had it last??? Thanks for any feedback.

>Hi Alex! & Welcome to the board. :)
Drugs haved saved my life, I was getting suicidal before I started on medication. I don't think they are going to cure my problems, but they keep me going. What is your diagnosis & what drugs do you swallow.
Cheers,
Panda.
