Anyone on depression meds?

I'm thinking about it although I hate meds and what they do to your body (and your skin). Should I just turn to cannabis? I just want to feel ok, euphoria would be preferable.

Cannabis is [i]not[/i] a good idea - nor is it indicated - for depression. Depression often has to do with an imbalance of neurotransmitters and other brain chemicals. Cannabis furthers affects those levels.

Feeling relief from depression and wanting to feel euphoric are two different things. CBT, or talk therapy - sometimes combined with meds - is the gold standard for treatment. Substance use is the [i]last[/i] possible answer.

Only go on them if your doctor/ psychiatrist thinks you should be on them. Not because you think it’ll just magically make you happy. Some dression/anxiety meds are super addictive. Some make you feel good for a short period and you end up wanting to chase that feeling and end up really screwed up. So I would reconsider/ recommend speaking with healthcare professional.

Yeah - but more for sleep. And no real side effects. You will find that they smooth out the lows but also the highs.
If you want to kill your brain cells. Stress is also harmful to your body. Only you know what you need.
