  -.-

  Anti depressants will not CURE depression. It can only help to treat and manage it.

  BTW if you're getting undesirable side effects from them, then it's best you consult your doctor again and get him to prescribe other meds for you.

  Maybe you shld just listen to what your doc says and follow the dosage of the medicine. It takes time. If u are having side effects from the medicine, let ur doc know.

  When is your follow-up schedule ?

  Try to stick to your prescribed medication, and see how it goes.

  You can mention about it during your follow-up consultation.

  It just a medicine to calm you now, try to take up sport, exercise or learn about yoga, meditation and be enlightened. Depression is a mental illness, medicine can only subdue it for a while, not permanent.

  For a start, as a nun, i advise you to take up walking medition, do it everyday on a nice park, as you walk, look at the bird, the peoples walking by, the grass, the trees, the nature....slowly, you mind will reset itself to what you want, but dun end up talking to yourself hor
