Yes many people find help with antidepressants, but they are not for long term used and never were mean to be for long term because they are very addictive, also the highest the dose the worst the withdraw symptoms.
I did my research on anti depressants when my doctor prescribe them and the more I found out about them the least I wanted them.
They do not address the problem that is causing depression because that is not what they are made for, they only mask symptoms giving a false sense of well being.
When the problem is chemically cause by an imbalance or lack of the body itself...Then the prescription drug becomes the solution and not the bandaid.
I just tell anybody that used them to be careful and to find an alternative way out of them, they are out there and they work as well as prescribe drugs without the side effects.

In my opinion, drugging oneself with Fluoride to stop depression may work, because it's destroying neurons in the brain and changing the chemical balance within the brain. It is a fluke when these anti-depressants actually prevent suicide, I see far more suicide stories than prevention stories.
I use to take Adderall XRs as an adult, and I have to say that it was nearly impossible to be depressed while taking them. I was taking them for ADHD and by chance it also prevented any depression within me. The side effects were not worth it though, when a med fixes 1 thing and breaks down 10 things, I'd say that it's a money making tool to break us down.
