But at the same time, anti-depressants obviously have positive effects (or else no one would prescribe them).
I was on combination of anti-depressants and mood stabilizers for years. My personality did change, but for the better. There were a few times I stopped taking my medicine in those years and every time I did, I did something completely retarded.
While cognitive therapy alone might be preferable, you shouldn't feel ashamed or scared if you need to start taking anti-depressants.
(btw Gwahir, I was anon in this thread earlier.)
