Does antidepressants medications really make people happy?

I've always wondered if it makes positive impact on people.

Made me suicidal. It was only once I came off them that I got better.

Wow, scary. I'm glad you're no longer on it.

@Random1Thoughts Yeah, it was hard to explain to the family. I couldn’t bring myself to explaining why I no longer took them.

Either way, that’s just my reaction. Obviously it goes different ways for different people.

What about your doctor? Did he have some ideas as to why that happened to you.

@Random1Thoughts I actually had both a female therapist and doctor.

My doctor just wanted to increase the dosage, for the fourth time in a month.

My therapist just reminded me how I ‘had no personality because I had took on different traits from my mom and father.’ how ‘I had no friends.. and that I couldn’t get any crazier.’

I haven’t went back since. I don’t do perfect without the meds but I do considerably better.

Have you ever consider herbal remedies? I'm not familiar but just wondering if there are natural remedies.

@Random1Thoughts I haven’t. I’ve tried different prescribed meds and I’ve experienced the same effects.

I just stay away from all of that. Too scared that I’d get dragged back in.

Best to stay away if it's not beneficial for you or your wellbeing. @SW-User
