From the sound of it, you did try, and it's not just battling emotions, but a true chemical issue. And good for you for trying to fight it out first!

What concerns me are people who have a sad event like family death, break-up, etc., and just quickly pop a pill for awhile instead of confronting it in a sober/realistic state. Those meds can take a person who is chemically balanced and throw 'em off-kilter, thus building a dependency. And, it's a prescribed dependency, similar to the level of dependency of other substances. The former is considered ok, yet the latter is considered bad. And, that's scary.

And, I'm with iSm on the whole "natural" substance thing, versus prescribed addictive substances.

It'd be interesting to see a comparison study on the lasting effects of pot versus prescribed meds.
