What are the pro's and con's of antidepressants?

Asked by rainboots (287points) June 3rd, 2010

After many months of being down and out I have made a choice to take Wellbutrin. I am almost through two weeks of starting this medication. I don’t feel overly happy, nor sad. I just feel level. My mood still swings daily as I take on what life throws at me. I hid taking the medication from my boyfriend up until lastnight. I decided to tell him because if something did happen I would want someone to be able to tell the doctor that I was on this medication. He thinks that I’m out of it, not myself and says it’s a” turn off” that I take this medication. Part of taking this medication is because my depression was not only destroying my life but my relationship. I have tried everything to pull myself out of this depression and decided that it was time to sink or swim. If I don’t take the medication I will fall back into a depression. If I do take it my boyfriend looks down on me. I feel like I can’t win.
