Sigh. This is getting tiresome. Again with the wild and innacurate.

I would get episodes of dizziness and disorientation when I didn't take my Lexapro. That sort of withdrawal side effect really bothered me, and was one of the reasons I stopped taking the drug. Despite everything I've said in this thread, I really don't like taking medicine, and I was depressed for a very long time before I convinced myself that, after having tried everything else, it was time that I should try drugs too.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

Well it's a reasonable guess he isn't geriatric, and there isn't any Chris on that list at any rate.

Obviously, Thorn's from Asheville. Anyone know if he's gone from Apolyton? Has he, in fact, cleared all the data related to himself? Getting out of a group can be viewed as a kind of suicide, a step in a bad direction.
Lorizael, stop baiting Mr I-have-experience, it just upsets you. Much like the bear in bear-baiting, your reactions bring out the irrelevant and trivial in him.
Those of us who have had bouts of paralyzing negative self-worth (Depression with a capital "D") have little use for those who say, "Buck up, face yourself, accept your faults, get off your a**, quit whining." These people do not, and will not comprehend. Clearly, the drugs do help us get up and get on with life. Whether they are overprescribed (clearly they are), based on only fuzzy scientific understanding (again, they are -- nobody seems to be able to explain why inhibiting the uptake of Seritonin and Norepenephrin should enable the beneficiary to function more ably), and can be used as a crutch (as can any aid device), THEY WORK. If you someone does not get what we are saying, ignore them.
Interesting that Mr. I-have-experience seems to say almost exactly the same words as Tom Cruise, and yet claims not to know it. Would suggest he look into that viewpoint, if we weren't busy ignoring him.No matter where you go, there you are. - Buckaroo Banzai

I think depressive symptoms signal a need to develop as a human being, to step out of the ordinary routines and see things in a new light. Depressive people like to torture themselves with thoughts like, "I will never have the happiness-bringing things that other people have, therefore I have to destroy myself/others..." etc, ad infinitum. Maybe it's time for the depressive person to reconsider what the things are that actually bring happiness?

Eh, correlation and causation are two different things.
I don't necessarily agree with Neomega but if he is right, perhaps the personal choices regarding one's environment, illogical assumptions about the future, refusing to accept that life is unfair, etc. all gradually alter brain structure.
Sure there are people who can "cure" themselves. But not everyone can do it.
