Can I say something that may sound a bit simplistic ??

If you were extremely short sighted and you were told you would need glasses to improve your vision and ergo your quality of life you would without a doubt do it.

So where is the real difference ??

I have to take heart tablets and asprin every day for the rest of my life, yes it is a right royal pain in the arse, but I feel better with than without.

Maybe you need a different tablet, but when you find the right one, don't fight it go with it.

Sorry I sound like I am preaching and I didn't mean to.

essbee, i am really sorry to hear what you are going through
i was prescribed cipralex in november, my gp said they were very very mild and i wouldnt really get any side effect from them (10mg) but i decided not to take them, after reading everything you have experienced i am so glad i decided not to take them now,

good luck with everything i cant give you any advice but can offer >>

i hope you feel more yourself soon

I would just say take it very very slowly - as slowly as you think and then some. I am really struggling to come off Cipramil (seem stuck on 20mgs) and I have decided to stick at the dose I'm on 'til Spring is really with us. I don't have physical side-effects with the tablets - but I'm beginnning to recognise that I'm not really "me" when I'm on them and I want to know what's lurking underneath, so to speak. If the depression comes back with a vengeance you can always try another anti-d - you do sound like you are sensitive to medication in general but there are a lot of tablets out there. Take care xx
