How has antidepressants affected your life?

Hope you find a good, caring doctor and feel better soon.

Of I hadn't got depression s long time ago I would be dead. I can finally do things that make me happy. Don't worry there are very few side effects that are just annoying. They might make you have nausea for a fee days so just lay down if you can and stick with taking them. I am extremely happy that I had this medicine prescribed to me they have changed my life.

Been dealing with it for over 4 years now , second time I have had it lack of sleep also but the medication as much as I hate taking it keeps things in perspective and helps to keep the depression and anxiety at bay best to keep on them as much as you might not like it , hope all works out well for you.

they say tumeric curcumin can help some because they believe depression can be from inflammation in the brain.

I wouldn't still be here without them - antidepressants and beta-blockers for anxiety

I've been on so many and shouldn't have been, psych meds shouldn't be Russian roulette honestly

I find that staying busy and having a hobby helps tremendously

I have been taking them for 6 years . There have been many up and downs. I tried almost all antidepressants in which I find following working for me- clomipramine , Bupropion and Serteraline. Some antidepressants made me suicidal . Everyone react differently to antidepressants, what works for me might not work for you.In the end , antidepressants helped me a lot to cope with chronic depression and anxiety.

I took them for a while when I was married to the ex. (I didn't realize it was the ex that was causing the depression...LOL!!!) I tried several of them, but the main side effect I noticed was that I didn't feel very sexual. (That could have been caused by the ex, too! LOL!!!)

went through a dark depression 3 years ago. but snapped out of it. so far im fine. almost took my life several times back then. its not fun to go through.

I was suffering from depression a few years ago and I refused to use em. Just talking it through with someone was enough.

It's a bad bad experience.

It helped me.
