Dear Lybrate user medicines do have side effects. You did not mention the severity of your depression, since how long you are suffering from it? Yes, it can be treated by counseling if it's not that severe. Even if you have to continue the medicine, counseling can go side by side, if both go parallely, it gives positive results. I would suggest you to take counseling. Feel free to contact me if you need so.

Dear Swetha, Every drug has side effects. Some of the side effects may be beneficial to you. Your doctor has assessed the benefit Vs risk of the drug and then prescribed it. Depression can be treated without medicines. It depends on the type of depression and your motivation to follow non medical methods of treatment.

Hi, medication in depression depends on the severity of the symptoms and the duration of illness. I would suggest you to start cognitive behaviour therapy from a good psychotherapist along with the medication and when you start seeing the positive results you may tapper off the medication after consulting your treating doctor. Cbt works wonders in depression. For further help you may contact me.
