Are they SSRI or tricyclic antidepressants? Or what is the name? Tricyclic antidepressants might only work if you have an allergy (curb the allergic reaction). I don't know.
It sucks to take medication forever, though. I have been considering taking this one medication for migraines, but there are so many side effects. The same applies to antidepressants. There must be a substitute without all the side effects.
