Depression Medication

Hi everyone,

I was wondering whether anyone would be comfortable to share whether antidepressants have worked for you? I am having a really hard time and I've been thinking about seeing my GP to discuss taking medication for depression. I know that a large part of how I'm feeling is due to autistic burnout but I wondered whether depression meds would help or if they'd be ineffective or make it worse.

    I was depressed when I used them, and they helped me out of a slump. Well, they stopped me doing ‘you know what’ , so I’m thankful.  I took them for 2 years. 
    I haven’t, and wouldn’t use them for burnout alone.
