Gg, I can't tolerate antidepressants either. They are not for everybody. There is a small percentage of people who just don't tolerate them - more harm then good. If you don't see a psychiatrist,...
It seems that I can't tolerate any of the antidepressants (I have tried several). I decided to go just with anxiety meds for a while and see how this is working. My psychiatrist was fine with it. She...
