I am on an SSRI...and I am sure as heck not going to risk my health and well-being by not taking it. I am on it for life and I think I am doing pretty well with this WOE.

One nice result: My SSRI used to make me crave carbs so badly that I would get up in the middle of the night and eat a half-sleeve of saltine crackers to satisfy it. But now, I can honestly say that the cravings are nearly gone (it's still challenging to walk through the bakery department of the grocery store! But I think that's a challenge for most people!)
