I am on them. It's a pretty low dose. It helps even out my moods so that I don't go into a dark pit of despair. It doesn't make me a robot though. I got lucky that the first anti depressant I tried worked for me. For some of my friends it took a few to figure out which one worked for them.

The first one was terrible for me. The second one was just right.

I'm glad you didn't have to try a lot of them. For my friends it made them feel like they were robots.

@Pimpedcheerios88: The first one was Lexapro. It made me sick a lot.

That sounds awful. I'm on Paxil and have been for about fourteen or fifteen years
