Take the meds, Take the meds ........

Well that's what people (specialist or not) told me.

But that were my worse mistake

Anti depressants may not be too bad (they are said to even increase gray matter) but a year ago, I was prescribed antipsychotics by injections (because I had some paranoia against cigarette smoke) and those have been the worse thing I had to live, basically it deconnects your brain. So be happy and think there's worse, much worse elsewhere. Also sports helps, do 40 minutes of bike everyday (like going to work by bike), this must be the best medicine

Anti psychotic medication, especialy depot injections, is very different to anti depressant tablets!

Yes, anti-psychotic medication have worse side effects.

They tend to be more sedating or have more severe weight gain associated with them.
