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.

ditto, alice. and one should never start or STOP these drugs without medical monitoring. God bless with...
