Trust me, don't get on meds unless it is prescribed by a physician and you fully understand all of the side effects including dependency. I have dealt with depression for several years. I have taken many scripts that have helped in the short term. However, your body tends to build up a tolerance to these drugs and needs more of them over time to produce the same effect. The scripts that are addictive are very hard to give up and can have serious side effects. Research your family history for depression. Seek advice from a doctor. Keep your friends and family informed about your condition.

I would assume that you are young. The last thing you want to deal with in your life is an addiction problem. I have seen it ruin many lives. Depression is serious, but can be treated without medication. I wish for you the very best. Keep us updated on your progress. Remember, you are not alone!
