Antidepressants information?

Most of your questions you should really discuss with your healthcare provider as you said... but to answer a few, No, antidepressants are not addictive, and if they didnt "help enough" there are other drugs out there. Antidepressants are somewhat odd in that different people respond to different ones, so while one may not have helped you enough, another may get the job done, also remember it may take 4-6 weeks until you really start to notice results
