I am taking antidepressants for my depression. Can you live a full life on antidepressants?

In most cases, one lives a better life when the treatment is optimal.
Yes. Most individuals tolerate antidepressants well. Most side effects are a temporary nuisance. Depression is a recurrent condition for many, even with active antidepressant treatment, so properly supervised maintenance treatment would be very sound.
