Back when I was in highschool I was on SSRIs for about a year, mainly because I lived with my parents.
I started out on Zoloft and for the first month or so I was just happy-go-lucky and didn't really give a shit about any consequences. Since the main things which were causing the depression were school/parents, I just kind of said "f*ck off" to both of em. After a while though it kind of left me in a funk.
After that I switched to Effexor which was kind of more of the same except I had to take it both morning and night. I was bad about making that nighttime dosage and eventually the morning dose started making me puke about an hour after I took it. Once that started happening I got off em all entirely.
Now in that case the cure turned out to be going to college way the hell away from my parents and not any medication. Sometimes depression is caused by circumstances, sometimes it happens in spite of circumstances. Given my experience, I would only recommend meds if it's the latter.

I was diagnosed as being depressed about 2 years ago, My doctor prescribed Celexa in a few weeks I felt electric, they where $250+ a month after about 4 months I quit taking them because I could no longer afford them
. From time to time I feel even worse then I ever have, before taking the meds :wtc: . Celexa has one weird side effect. My cac would stay rock hard during sex for hours and I could never get a nut in a reasonable amount of time
