In my experience with medications, I personally believe as
long as you are taking them as prescribed, in the
long term you are doing the right thing. As with any medications, there are risks versus the expected benefits, but if you need them and they are working, then by all means if the doctor's say it is okay, then I believe you are definately doing more good than harm. I know people that have been on ADs for over 12 years and they are in 'tip top' shape/health.
