Hello everyone,

Perhaps not surprisingly, many TGs tend to be described anti-depressants, including myself. I have been on them on and off for the last few years now. I have tried a couple of brands, and I really don't know why I do take them. Of course, living in a society that says a person generally has to go one way or the other, with hormonal changes on top of that, I would think its not such a bad idea.

So I was prescribed Cipralex, and I took it for about two months then stopped. I didn't notice any real improvement, since I was going through a good time in my life anyways. So I stopped, and its been about three months now.

Lately, I've been feeling down...trouble with friends, stress from school, the usual 20 year old problems. But I don't know if I should be back on them. I don't want to be one of those ppl who can take a crap without popping pills. I already take pills for my OCD, t-blockers, adderall for staying focused on school, and an iron supplement. I really don't want to be a walking pharmacy. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Or, I guess more importantly, would being on these drugs make my gender therapist less likely to recommend me for SRS? I mean, I do have to prove to him that I am serious about it and stable enough to go through with it, right?

Anti-Depressants have place, I have been on them for over 2 years now. At first I did not want to take them but in the end living had priority of being stubbin. If you think this is a little big of bad thinking by all means see if you can see it through but do not me scared to get some help if you need it.
