hi jac, i used to be anti-depressants for a few years when i was in my early teens. It took nearly everything i had to give to get off them. I think the only reason i wanted off them was because i just wanted to be free of medication. Im now 20 and not on anything. Depression and anxiety still cripples me at times, but i dare'nt get hooked on pills again. Good luck in what u choose to do, take care
