My advice DON'T take that stuff if you get a chance, it make's people worse from what I have seen.
You cannot base your opinion of antidepressants on one person's reaction! There are many different kinds, and it often take several attempts to find the right one that will help you. Perhaps your father needs to try a different one. Everyone's brain chemistry is different, unfortunately we cannot yet just do a scan and say "Aha - this person needs X drug or X vitamin" - it's still a field we are learning about.
