I spent about 20 years on antidepressants on and off. Every 2/3 years they'd change the drug because my tollerence would build up to the point where I'd be unable to sleep again. If they aid restful sleep they are fine otherwise I'd always advise against them. I now replace the meds with exercise, fresh air, open spaces and good food.
Excellent point.
Its always better to not depend on a drug for something you should be doing yourself.
Still, some people DO have a chemical imbalance that requires meds.
I did but the meds helped jumpstart the production of those valuable chemicals in me, some people don't experience that and require a supplement for the rest of their lives.
Everybody is different and reacts to drugs differently, those one pill fix all doctors are doing more harm than good.
I'm not saying you do or don't need some medicine to help you get to a point of inner harmony. All I'm saying is I would be suspect of a dr that just prescribes it without doing the proper tests.
Too many drs think they know everything.
I don't need to know what meds your dr gave you.
I would highly suggest you look it up on a drug identification website and read everything you can about it.
If it doesn't do what you need it to do, give your dr immediate feedback and ask if maybe you should be referred to a mental health specialist.
If it is bothering you enough to make mention of it, its worth getting the right fix from professionals that are there for that kind of stuff.
You may not need a drug at all?
