Do you favor the use of anti-depressant drugs?

I asked this question because people react differently from the use of anti-depressants.
I took in just 3 capsules of Prozac when I had a brief adjustment disorder with mixed depression and anxiety last July 2008.
And interestingly enough, I had just dry mouth and larynx for the side-effects.
But honestly, I don't want to take in meds for that matter and I prefer counseling, support groups, and vacations instead.

I would say, unless you are suffering from a sever case, doctors should not prescribe anti-depressants for general depression. Depression caused by chemical inbalance is however a different story, in which case you can not fix it your self and need the medication to sort out your emotions, thaughts etc...
I suffer from Bipolar disorder so I don't really have much of a choice in the matter.
Getting the right mixture of medication is usually very difficult. Eventually you need to compromise between feeling better and the side-effects the pills give you.
