I have struggled with depression my entire life.<br /><br />Prozac gave me the "can't sit down" syndrome. I was so hyper that I could not relax.<br /><br />I switched to Zoloft and did not experience the same reaction. I found it hard to sleep, so I started taking anti-anxiety meds that have the side effect of sleepiness.<br /><br />Now, I rock along and try to take joy where I find it. It is okay to be depressed when bad things happen to you or after a prolonged illness. The pills do not fix your life.<br /><br />I believe depression is inherited because it runs in my family. I believe other mental illnesses are inherited as well.<br /><br />The pills are bad, but electroshock therapy and lobotomies are worse.CyberCelthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17626332588503998609noreply@blogger.com
