I'm sorry to hear about your brother, sweetie. Hopefully they'll find a cure for cancer soon.
Antidepressants are awful; they make you feel worse. I went on antidepressants and they had the opposite effect; I ended up losing LOTS of weight. They suppressed my appetite to the point where I would never be hungry. After I lost all this weight, my doctor decided to mess with my doses and I gained back all the weight and even more within a month. I was fat and depressed. Whoever says that these drugs work is smoking crack. They mess with your body, make you overweight, and when you see yourself becoming this other person, you get even more depressed. The solution? More drugs. What does it equal? More weight and unhappiness.
