Anyone on depression meds?

I'm thinking about it although I hate meds and what they do to your body (and your skin). Should I just turn to cannabis? I just want to feel ok, euphoria would be preferable.

Cannabis is [i]not[/i] a good idea - nor is it indicated - for depression. Depression often has to do with an imbalance of neurotransmitters and other brain chemicals. Cannabis furthers affects those levels.

Feeling relief from depression and wanting to feel euphoric are two different things. CBT, or talk therapy - sometimes combined with meds - is the gold standard for treatment. Substance use is the [i]last[/i] possible answer.
