So my life is mostly weeks of being content and at peace with the spot Im in, followed by weeks of severe depression and woe is me and Im worthless, etc.

And it just keeps going like that. Well, I think Im finally ready to see a psychiatrist or whatever. But Im worried whatever meds he/she prescribes me will turn me into a zombie and a shell of the person I used to be. I got major hang ups about the medications while I admittedly know very little about them other then probably sensationalized stories Ive read.

I guess what Im trying to get at is... do you take medications for depression or other mental conditions and how have they affected you? What are the side effects?
