Hi and welcome to the forum Salomon!

Antidepressants are certainly worth a try, and tend to be most effective when combined with some sort of therapy. You'll find that different treatments work for different people. It may be the case of finding the one that works for you. If something isn't working for you say, after 3-4 months, then I would seriously consider moving on and trying something else.

I am a newbie to this site too!

I know a lot of people need the help that comes with anti-depressent drugs, but for me personally, I cannot stand the way they make me "feel" -almost like I am in a fog. Anyone else have this experience?
