I’m sorry that you had such a negative experience, but it’s not the norm for children or adults according to various studies.
Many people do not find SSRIs to be a magical solution. I certainly didn’t.
I, too, felt saddened when my parents first pulled me out of therapy. But in retrospect, it was just Stockholm Syndrome talking, along with the discomfort of losing my weekly routine. But after a month, I felt relieved to get rid of that woman: I no longer had to fabricate "easy" issues for her to "fix", or come up with things to brag about (like A's on tests), week after week for 6 years.I’m sorry that you had such a negative experience, but it’s not the norm for children or adults according to various studies.

Well, Effexor---which is technically an SNRI---was very helpful for me. After a month of getting on it, I French kissed a woman in a nightclub, and a woman I already knew at that, with hands touching all the naughty body parts.
Well, that night took place after I stupidly mixed Effexor and vodka, then rode a train to the club, although the outcome was pretty freaking awesome!

There is often a placebo effect with medications which makes them seem more effective than they actually are.
In any case, your experience with therapy does not reflect every one else’s experience as research indicates. I’m sorry you didn’t find someone who worked for you.

Meh! I call it as I see it. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and swims like a duck, then it's a duck. Plus, imagine if you were depressed for months on end, then took a "happiness pill", and made out (UK: snogged) with a Chad you had fantasized about, wouldn't YOU feel happy too? No need to respond.

I doubt it. I’m a bit more analytical/skeptical than that.

LMAO -- You think men are the cure to women's depression?
I think you must have misread a hell of a lot of posts.
