I?ve taken anti-depressants, they might be ok for a person who is an office worker but not an M-16. The word Combat means get wired real tight and kick yourself in the butt every morning to stay that way. Depression in your later life can be very serious but anti-depressants can be a sure way of not getting to later life.
Stay healthy,
