I am thinking of going on an Anti-depressant pretty soon, I am at my wits end. I can't take much more of this ED... I am sick and tired of not being able to control/conquer/get over it. I know better than this, i was ED free for 5.5 years and super happy... i have a TON going for me... so what is wrong that i am hurting/killing myself like this.

So, to all of you with an ED and on and anti-depressant, have you found that they help? Do they work for you at all? Good, bad, etc. I know i posted a while ago about weight gain on them... but I just want to know if they are actually helping/working for those with an ED.

They did not help me personally - at first they did but after a couple of months or so I felt like a zombie and got nowhere when it came to dealing with the real issue. I had much better success using 5-HTP.
