From 18 to 24 or so I was on tons of various anti depressants. In my experience I found them all to be placebos! I was no different on them or off them. Either way I really could never be myself around people I hung around with; anxiety-ridden & silly OCD stuff(I can laugh at now).
For me talking about anxiety and OCD stuff was the biggest help. So many people go through the same thing but you think your the only one and are afraid to talk about it, because oh no people may think Im crazy. Yet were all the same! Though even after talking about my issues it generally took some years and feeling comfortable in my own skin was the end all cure.
Im not saying anti-depressants don't work, but for me they were pointless. Time and talking about my issues with friends/others was my cure!
