I think people think the pills are supposed to make them happy, I did. I have been fighting panic and depression for 10 years and only now does it all make sense.The pills keep you from getting depressed not make you happy,that can only be found within!I think that they compress emotions in a way that makes happiness impossible. They are great when needed, but I feel the key is to take the lowest dose possible, to keep youself as functional as possible, even if there is some anxiety. Some anxiety is needed to feel excitement, happiness etc. Then work on positive thinking thru cbt and someday maybe get off drugs altogether!
