I know so many people, not just Witnesses that are on Zoloft or similar drugs. I know of some that, once they left the "truth", stopped taking these meds and have not had to go back on them. I know of some that, if they did not have them, would not be able to properly function......What about you? (As for moi, I haven't needed them yet, but you never know).....

I have been told I need to go on them! I will not because it may cause weight gain and that is another one of my many issues!
I am learning to be happy and try and keep a hold on things by myself. If I went on them and gained 1 pound I would go back to something I don't ever want to be again! I don't want to hurt myself anymore. I will better myself with out pills.

Honesty
I didn't have depression until I voluntarily joined the satanic JW cult. While I was 'in the lie' I ingested Wellbutrin and Effexor XR like it was candy.
Since I disfellowshipped the Governing Body of JW's for apostasy, joining a political organisation, adding false crap to the bible and calling it the New World Translation, breaking up families, habitual lying, fornicating with Satan, etc. I have come off the anti depressants.

That would be me. I went through a whole bunch of antidepressants and eventually settled on Zoloft, 100 mg/day, which I was on for about 10 years. As soon as I was out of the borg and separated from my JW ex (and the divorce was final) it was only a few months before I was off them completely, and have never needed them since.

I have noticed a lot of JWs on antidepressants where I lived including some of my relatives who are still active and on antidepressants. I have never taken antidepressants but if I would have stayed active I know I would have eventually needed them though.
