Never taken them never will. I think like most drugs and meds, they are immensely over prescribed. I agree with Luna, the natural way with diet and exercise should be first priority. But each must do what is in their own best interest.

@Magenta Hesitant to continue taking them,,, I heard about the bad experiences with withdrawal, am tired

@TessDun Aw, well, only you can decide that.
It can't be without side affects. The body has to process everything that goes into it.

Have you tried anything natural, like sunshine, exercise, music, etc..? There is some great healing music with binaural beats that can boost serotonin, dopamine and endorphins on You tube.

@TessDun P.S. I'm also going to throw this out there in a general sense. Why on earth do so many people think they can't be sad or blue or have sad or unhappy moments or a day even. Makes no sense to me. THAT is what being genuinely human is.

@Magenta Negative thoughts are quite strong but will try these, thank you

@TessDun Sweet! I hope they help. I know for sure getting out in the warm sunshine should.

Here's a couple audio listens, just let it flow over you. It can improve blood pressure too. Let me know what you think.
