I have severe deppresion and have been on a number of these drugs Paxil, Lexapro, Zoloft, Prosac, and one other. I went through high school with horrible anxiety and deppresion. It was so bad that when I went to jail for a drunk driving ticket jail wasn't even close to as bad as school was. Anyway I have been on anti-depresents for about eight years. I have also smoked marijuana almost everyday may miss a day or two not by choice. I recently quit the anti-depressants because through my own research and feelings on the drugs there were not helping me but making me worse. I felt like a zomby all my feelings were numb to things happening around me. I have been off the anti-depressants for about three months now, and have just been smoking. I don't feel depressed at all and believe marijuana is best for me in dealing with the deppresion although it is illigal in my state I have a good connect to get high grade pot. My real question is how long will it take my body to get all the bad effects of anti-deppresants out of my system and when will my brain relearn its thinking patterns without the pills. I would still be on this pill rollercoaster if it wasn't for herb and am determined to stay off of them for good. I hope my brain aint damaged from ant-depressants
