I’ve recently run across the old bugaboo in the rooms related to taking antidepressants. Because not taking them when needed can not only impact our ability to work a program but can also lead to serious debilitation and even suicide, I think this article is a must for everyone in recovery.
“Better living through chemistry” isn’t just a slogan: I’ve been on antidepressants for 20 years, and can still remember exactly when the first one started to work—allowing my recovery to begin for real.
