oh come on its just a bunch of neurons. its not like it has telekinetic powers or anything. Its not hard to understand that anything thrown out of balance is a bad thing. Yes its a complex thing but its not a delicate thing. Just dont abuse the drugs and keep it active. 
anti depressants just numb certain parts to push the balance back to normal as your brains out of sync. its when you stay on them for too long that they become a problem. (mr 75 pills a working week  )

The mere fact antidepressants are handed out like candy to whoever wants them and that you see commercials for them on television should be a good enough deterrent for anyone not to take them.
I was on zoloft for about a year and I soon figured out just exactly how this medication was helping my depression. What it does is kill any emotion, so if you're not capable of feeling you're dead inside.
I wish I would have went off of the stuff slower, one day I just said fuck it and stopped taking it completely. I was teary and really down for the two weeks following until I started feeling better. People should depend on themselves to make themselves feel better. Sorry if that came off as being insensitive but I believe its true. Sit around feeling sorry for yourself and your situation and keep hoping someone will care for you the way you should be caring for yourself.
I could fucking bitch forever but there is only one other thing I'd like to mention. sad/depressed, two different fucking things. When I hear people using the word depressed litely cause theyre having a bad day it seriously makes me sick.

the problem is getting doctors to recognise when someone has a proper chemical deficiency and actually DO need the drugs to balance their brain chemistry back out.

Seems everyone is depressed these days, prescribing antidepressants is the easy thing to do. I don't know about yours but I think mine only pretends to give a shit..

yeah, the trick is to cut down s-l-o-w-l-y. i tried quitting cold turkey before. it was NOT pretty.
I figure it takes 4-6 weeks to start working, so I should take 4-6 weeks to stop. I'm dropping about 1/4 dose a week. Withdrawal has been very mild so far, and it's been more interesting than painful. My senses have become more, uh, sensitive, so seeing/touching/smelling stuff has been really fascinating... although if they were any more sensitive I think I'd start to flip out.

Sounds liked you planned this out nicely, wish I had. I hope you do well without your medicated smile too.
Oh and does anyone else feel the urge to take the time to take the white edges off of these faces?

if you want to clean up a few smileys, that would be greatly appreciated. email them to me when you're done and I'll put them up.
another thought on depression... it's not popular to blame Society for things in these days of Personal Responsibility, but every time I see a show like Survivor I can't help but think that a lot of our malaise has to do with our "every man for himself, rudeness = necessary, me me me!" culture.
Compassion, tolerance, patience, and understanding would go a long way towards improving our general mood. And remember, Society is not Everyone Else. It's you as well.
Instead of screaming "more personal responsibility!" at someone - or beating yourself up because you think everything is your fault - try this. Next time you're out, hold the door open for somebody. Smile and say "hi!" why you're at it. Some people will sneer at you if you do this for them, but a lot more will be pleasantly surprised and will thank you.
It sounds asinine, but something that small can easily make someone's entire day.
