@Scribbles, thanks, your situation sounds worse than what I went through. 

I was admitted against my will and I wasn't prepared for it. 

It happened over a year ago, but, I've only just stopped taking meds. 

I've never really been depressed before, but, fairly sure I am now.  I definitely needed help at the time, i'm not denying that.. I was manic from lack of sleep/worrying about things.  The side effects have really effected Me and it was not really discussed.  It's hard to feel like my life hasn't been ruined.
