I stopped taking my depression meds because i thought id be fine without them, plus i was worried i would become dependent on them. Now i don't know what to do. My anger is out of control. I haven't been violent but i just get mad at the littlest things my friends do. I just have a total attitude problem. Now my mom and i think i should get back on my meds. I'm just really nervous about becoming dependent on them.

you shouldn't go off your meds without a doctor's okay. =[
1st thing you should do is go back on your medicine.
Don't worry about dependency these aren't sleeping meds you're talking about, the risk of dependency isn't as high. you're supposed to gradually ween yourself of of the medication by reducing your dosage little by little, not quit cold turkey.
I'n the meantime try deep breathing excercise or ranting in private, just get all the words out from time to time. try it in the privacy of your room when you're home alone. -
lol dont worry...i didnt quit cold turkey i talked to my dr. about it...its just i never really wanted to be that person who had to have medication...know what i mean?

I know exactly what you mean. =p but if the medicine doesn't have negative side effects on you and does it's job should should probably stick to it until you're positive you don't need it anymore, think of this period as a trial run to see if you're really ready to quit.
