Best medicine is to find another partner to sweep you off your feet

Go and do something you have always wanted to do.

Get Bach Flower Essences - they will help you deal with your emotions and lighten the load. They have special ones for the pain you feel (can't remember off the top of my head whihc ones).

You don't need medication. You need to get on with your life and have some fun,show him and yourself that you don't need him.Go out with your friends ,enjoy yourself,don't go looking for a new relationship just yet,give yourself time to get over this one but don't stay home moping about it.Live your life.

Try non-medication solutions first. Go for a walk, make a list of 20 things you are thankful for today, exercise, watch a funny movie (I watch Arthur when depressed and laugh every time); volunteer somewhere - I volunteer at the hospital in pediatrics. Just talking with a good friend can help. Find someone who will tell you what you need to hear, not just commiserate. Be with people. Or talk to a professional therapist. If you still need medication, find a doctor who specializes in depression or mental health issues.

Your serious depression may be treated by medication such as Paxil, ... You need to get these feelings out in the open and have your psychologist help you to work through them, so you are not constantly dwelling on the breakup. Breakups are rough enough on anyone in a relationship - let alone someone who suffers from depression.
