I know everyone’s experience with medication is different and some people have terrible side-effects or don’t feel like themselves when they are on anti-depressants.
To be honest with you it makes me hesitant to speak honestly about my experience with anti-depressants because I don’t want to glamorize anti-depressants or make it seem like I believe you have to go on medication to recover
and I felt like I could manage my depression without the help of medication anymore.
However, I know there are other people who are tempted to do the exact same thing when they feel like they don’t need medication anymore.
