I’ve been in and out for 3 years now. I’m currently taking them again and like @samblakejacobssaid every person is different and you need the right doctor and the right meds that works for your body and your mind. I was lucky the first one I got is the one I’m still taking now but I know people who needed to try 3 or 4 different ones till they found what was best dor them, so it’s also important to not give up if that happens.
Also antidepressants are not a cure for anxiety, depression, insomnia… they are just a little help, there’s a lot you need to do and work on yourself, they’re not “magic pills” like some people think
