hi joec : I have been on 5 different type of anti-depressants in the past and DO NOT recomend them , they are evil in a bottle and can mess you up for a long time , have you tried any type of adaptagenic herbs , like ginseng or holy basil these type of herbs are good for axiety and minor depression they work by normalizing the bodies hormones and keep them in balance , if you start taking them just remember to take them for 3 weeks on and 1 week off , this is to keep the herbs effectivness for a long time
