I know alot of guys that go through this very same thing. It's kind of like being stuck in a thought pattern, when it's a negative thought pattern it just takes over everything, like drop of dye in a bucket of water.
I don't know anyone who's been helped by anti-depressants. One of my friends gets anxiety w/ it and he takes Adivan when he has really bad days, but not as a daily dose (as docs reccomend), only when he's having a really bad day.
Booze is a depressant for some people and it's addictive, you don't want to add a drinking habit on top of anything, it will only make things worse. Some people self medicate with weed. It's not legal but I don't know anyone who's smoked themselves to death.
Honestly, since you can recognise that it's happening, I think you're already on the right path. The best advice is to just recognise what's happening and then let it run it's course. If you meet a chick you really dig let her know up front when you're having a good day that sometimes you have low days and when that happens you need your space, then when you're in a bad way let her know that it's one of those days. Some chicks will get it, some chicks won't, but you've got a better chance of them understanding if you've discussed it beforehand.

Anti-depressants have helped millions of people with mental disorders. I know a lot of people they have helped. In fact I know many people that work in adult that have been helped. They all seem to be taking Paxil or Prozac. They may not work for everyone, but to state they help no one is silly.
If your friend gets anxiety while on an SSRI, he should talk to his doctor. Anxiety is a listed side effect. I took Paxil and it worked well for me for my panic attacks. Only take meds when nothing else has worked. They are a bitch to get off of.
