My thoughts exactly Honeybun - it's why I was thrown a curved ball by the prescription! I really wasn't expecting the ADs as I know my issues are mild and, except when something extra gets thrown into the mix, I manage ok. I actually asked the doc what I could do to make sure I didn't get worse, and to deal with the 'blips' .... but I cried! Maybe that's what she went straight for the drugs! She said she didn't think 'talking therapies' would help me as I can't pinpoint a trigger for my current low mood.
I know perfectly well that, for some people, ADs are quite literally life-savers, but I think they are a bit 'rubber mallet' for me (in other words - over the top!).
Thank you all so much for your input and support, despite my problems being very mild (although, to me, they matter - I am soooooo not used to feeling like this! I'm the coper/the one everyone brings their problems to/the do-er, in my circle of friends, and getting tearful over a minor spat with daughter is just not me at all). You are all fab
