I take anti-depressant meds, since I was a sophmore in high school (I'm a senior in college now). I've gone off it once, and it was one of the worst times of my life. It was truly horrible.
It's been pretty helpful, unless something really stressful happens. Then I go to counseling. Kind of backwards, I know. But with a doc for a mom, the first thing she goes for is the drugs.
