My usual comparison for taking my antidepressants is that it's much the same as putting on my glasses every day when I wake up. Can I function without 'em? Yeah, sort of, if I want to go through my day squinting, groping about, and with everything in a blurred haze that eventually produces a headache, but why would I do that when a simple and effective remedy is available to me?
It also seems silly to me that people get up in arms about THEY CHANGE YOUR PERSONALITY when something as simple as missing a meal can make certain people into cranky assholes. There are a lot of outside influences that change your mood or behavior. This one, at least, is pretty decently regulated about it.
