many of them have side effects and are hard to wean yourself off of....
people i know who have used antidepressants said when they were on them their emotions were "numbed"...they no longer felt the sadness or listlessness but feelings of happiness weren't as intense either...
ok from my experience, paxil made me extra lazy, i didnt want to get out of bed and for the first time in my life i could go days without sex withouht my girlfriend at the time.
