The worst has been any medication I ever took. I have found the best medication is good friends, eating healthy & getting excercise, laughing alot, and the one important thing is being surrounded by good people who lift your spirits and staying away from negativity. If you just try to stop the negative self-talk and try to stay positive, even though it is hard, just take it one step at a time. I found that that is better than any medicine you can take. And no side effects.

I agree that you should have those other things, and that if they're sufficient forget the meds. But if you need them, you need them, and I do.
I have made the mistake of expecting a pill to fix everything. The result was that all the pill did was keep me from sinking beneath the waves.
I have been to therapists who made the worse mistake of thinking of a pill as a crutch that keeps their patients from learning to walk. They weren't just wrong; they endangered my life.
