Yes, although I don’t know if what I had was actually depression to be honest. I went to my doctor and she said I was depressed I disagreed however I agreed to take Celebrex and I took it for maybe 3 to 4 months and then I went off of it with no problem. My brain damage is was caused from three years of comas about 10 of them but longest lasted eight months. I decided one day to except whatever life throws at me and to cope with it. I am a very happy person. I don’t have any anxiety. I believe in dealing with whatever comes along in life. If I did have depression it was obviously mild.

@jakedduck1 Good for you, I am so glad that you don't need the anti-depressants. There are us who has inherited mental illness. Alot in my family has some sort of mental illness, The worse is my son who is bipolar 1. I am just depressive and anxiety complex. Had previously been diagnosed as bipolar 2. But my mom took her own life at 69. I'm 68 and will be 69 soon. I just can't imagine doing that there is too much in life to enjoy, even though I'm depressed now I think it was from that long 9 hour surgery on my back. I can't bend, twist. or lift anything too heavy. I'm on Lexapro and from a message on this post heard it can make you lose bone mass. My bones are soft and I'm on an injectable med to help to strengthen my bones. Best wishes to you
Wow, 3 years of comas, what caused them?
