Anti-Depressants

[SamIam]

I have struggled with depression my entire life. Like UT, it didn't matter what was happening to me externally. I got promoted - I was depressed. My writing got published - I was depressed. Depression is always there, lurking in the background for me. I am currently on lexapro, and its not working. This may because I am dealing with a pretty tragic situation right now, but its also because depression is a constant for me. I needed to read the other posters' advice about exercise and diet. I have been neglecting these things. Looking back, I was at my best when I was taking prozac, eating well, and walking for an hour each day. Don't feel upset over being on an anti-depressant, anon. It may be just the ticket. Give the zoloft a proper chance. If it doesn't work after a month or so, you might get your doctor to give you a trial on some other anti-depressant. Best of luck to you!
