really need to vent but I don't want to spam Twitter because tweets can't be filtered so easily
This probably will be harsh to read. You don't need to read or reply out of empathy, it's alright. I just need to write.
TMI below
It's been a few months since I started taking meds. Since then, my mood has improved greatly and I've been able to sleep really well.
For the past 2 years and a half, I was plagued with a terrible depression crisis. I'm really glad it's over and I can feel happy again..
But I'm so scared
Because I know I'm gonna have to stop taking these meds eventually. And I'm not sure if I'll still be able to feel okay and sleep well.
Even now, my brother keeps making me fear these meds, telling me it's going to kill me and it's not real happiness
I'm trying to tough it out, but my mood's been kinda bad lately and that scares me even more
Because one of my greatest fears is sinking into depression again..
If you read this, thanks. And sorry. Don't let my negativity bring you down, ok?

From what I've seen, anti-depressants either make people feel a lot worse, or a lot better. In your case, they're doing their job and so there's no real issue other than taking the drugs themselves. 'Real happiness' comes from adequate serotonin levels - Anti-depressants help to correct balance these serotonin levels for those who normally struggle with it.
I really do trust my doctor, but it's hard to keep it up when people around you keep pressuring you about it. I'm usually in a really good mood until I talk to my family, its kinda bad :(
anyway, thanks for the reply
