Hello Val,

antidepressants used to be addictive, but some of the newer ones are not.
I took some antidepressants years back. I was sceptic at first too, why should “I” need antidepressants? And just look at all those risks… .but when they started to really kick in I was amazed how different the world could look (which turned out to be how the world looks to “normal people”). At the same time I had therapy too. After one year I stopped taking the antidepressants and it was absolutely no problem at all, no addiction.
I’m afraid I don’t remember the name of the antidepressants I took, but I’m sure if you raise the point with you doctor and googled the antidepressants he recommends (to be on the safe side), you will find suitable pills for yourself. From my point of view I can recomend it, as long as long as it’s an addition to therapy.
