I felt that it wasn't really better than the depression. I don't remember it affecting my weight particularly, but I was overweight anyway. Things are getting better now though, I have bouts of depression but I do not take medication as I don't want to be dependent on it. I try to ride with my low moods and because it is not very severe they usually pass. Whether or not I would be diagnosed with clinical depression again I don't know, I'm probably borderline in that I can cope without medication, but I am not planning to find out.

OP: i was briefly on prozac when i was a teenager, i didn't like how it numbed me. i wasn't trying to lose weight back then, but if i had been, i probably would have given up. i had no gumption.

Exercising is a form of medication for depression. So if she wants to be a little more specific in her post, then we can all be sure that she's referring to antidepressants. Until then, madhu has a great medication for depression and was right to share.
