Hi Lighty, I do not mind to talk about simple medical questions, in fact, I love to talk about simple medical questions. But when it needs to be deep, it makes me a little nervous. Because I do not want to be in any kind of trouble, it is not good for a doctor "wannabe" to talk about medications in a deep way that can affect the thinking of another person. I am very sorry.
Remember that each person reacts in a different way to each medicine, and only a doctor who has seen that patient and knows the patient can decide what medications are convenient.
It would be very risky to put a person in pro or against certain medicines.
In my own person, I have been very depressed but I refused to take any antidepressants, I trust that I can make it with cognitive therapy. But there are people who cant.
The only thing I take is xanax, because I felt very anxious at times, but, not even that, because I only take it once in a while. It is addictives and develops tolerance very quickly. So, I do not advise to anybody to take it unless it is prescribed by a doctor who is your docgtor. I try to take it as less as possible. But that is my choice. What I advise to others is to obey the doctor, not complyance with the doctor is a very bad thong to do.
Well, I hope this answers your question at least partly.
Love to you.
