Not so keen on this

I know I shouldn't be worrying about what a study says, but it seems to be a pretty comprehensive study and it makes me wonder just why or whether my drugs really do actually work for me ...

Antidepressants a waste of time

Prozac does not work

What to do? I know how bad things got when I stopped taking them last time, I promised myself I wouldn't do that again. But do I really know that the Effexor is working and not just making me fuzzy and cloudy and stuff? Maybe it is as good as a Placebo? And the high dose that I'm on is just to make me feel like I'm on them?

Too hard just now ...

EDIT:- Just read this now and it's made me feel a little better, as if I'm part of an enlightened group of philosophers.

The good that depression can bring

Maybe I won't do so bad at my degree after all?

I just didn't like the way any of the articles said that these researches have "proven" that only the seriously depressed can benefit from anti-depressants. Because I'm feeling well just now, I don't like to think that I was - and possibly will be again - that sick, that this illness is so affecting. I wish I didn't have it, but there ain't nothing I can do about it, especially since it has biological, environmental and personality markers.

At least I don't get sick by halves either though! HA!
