Vigorous aerobic exercise, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, antidepressants and nutrition (Omega 3 and a multivitamin) in approximately that order of expected effectiveness.
The SSRE tianeptine seems to be more tolerable than the more typical class, the SSRIs. If taking SSRIs be wary of venlafaxine and paxil - the withdrawal symptoms of those two are a nightmare. Of the SSRIs I recommend escitalopram as more effective and specific than Prozac without the side effects of the two previously mentioned.
Who cares? The status quo sounds terrible, the risks are minimal and typical antidepressants are not addictive. The biggest problem with withdrawing from most antidepressants is that you often go back to the depressed state that you were in before you started. If (generic) you end up on antidepressants for your entire life and they work for you then great!
This exactly.
