Good post. I think what you just explained is exactly how antidepressants should be thought of for 99% of the population. They are in almost all cases only meant for temporary use. Hell I was suicidal and basically a useless vegetable for a year and surprisingly survived before I got on three different anti-depressants (still on all three right now). But neither my psychiatrist nor I feel like I'll be taking any more than one in a year or two.

So Prozac definitely helped but yeah the creativity thing is a pain. I work like a robot now. I list out a schedule and have to follow it exactly or I get annoyed. I don't like to do anything out of the ordinary now :(
