antidepressants and spiritual progression

[Melissa]

I think it's potentially dangerous to state that meds have a negative influence on 'spiritual progress'. Medication isn't less spiritual by any means (imo). What matters is how you feel, and if the meds enable you to work on certain issues then it's a great tool, not a solution, just a tool. I've been on antidepressants in the past but it made me even more apathetic so I decided (after consulting a psychotherapist) to quit after a few months. You could use the meds as a catalyst, to see why it doesn't feel 'right'?
