I Have a Question

I was on antidepressants for a few weeks. I told my doctor that having a choice between them and being depressed, I would rather be depressed. Exercise, yoga, meditation work much better, if you can get out of bed.

It's interesting how everyone has a different experience with this. The people I know in real life said that they made them more happy and optimistic. The thing I noticed is that they also make you slow. When you talk to them,you can see that they are not fully themselves and they take time to respond to and process information.
That's what I noticed from observing them, I'm not sure about how they were feeling on the inside. I thought about using antidepressants but I thought that would only be a quick fix and that it will only make me forget about my problems temporarily instead of dealing with them.

Yes I have...they made me feel kinda loopy and sleepy all day

I'm less angry and slow. Sometimes they don't work at all. Weird thing. But these days I just take them to make me fall a sleep easier. Not often, but sometimes. When my sleep cicle is messed up.

Also, good question, which antidepressants. There is one that can make you fat. I forgot the name but I trew it away.

Like wading through treacle

They made me sweat uncontrollably. The worst was that they made me really horny on the inside, but my body just wouldn't respond. Super frustrating. I threw them out after a week.

[c=#BF0080]Yes, it's helped a good bit.. it's not a miracle pill or anything lol. At first I felt a little "off" but once my body got used to it then it went away.[/c]

I love the commercials for them.
One side effect of this medication is suicidal thoughts.
Isn't that one of the symptoms of severe depression?

I never did but I knew someone who did. They made her queezy. Had headaches and was sleepy. But she felt better I guess? lol

[c=#BF0080]Originalme mine has never made me slow.. in fact mine does quite the opposite. [/c]

I did. They never had an effect on me at all.

Just like my Aunt Depressive

Yes, I had a withdraw after I stopped taking it, but it's all good now.
