Yeah, I am feeling much better after almost two weeks on the antidepressant meds.

For the first 4 or 5 days I would feel a tingling sensation in my head minutes after taking my daily pill, but not anymore.

I'm not sleeping through the day and am waking in the morning. It's nice.

It was better than wanting to step in front of a speeding truck.


What would you have suggested?

Meditiation. ...oh c'mon just pick your self up...get out in the sun! take a walk! bwahahahaha. Some people are lucky enough not to get it the irony or sarcasm...or both. No disrespect to RJ of course. He is an international man of mystery and I fear and revere him.
 
IAG, I have never felt comfortable taking medication, I have avoided taking prescription drugs most of my adult life but I'm now at an age where I believe medications will improve the quality of my life, not reduce it.

Not like me?

I'm a fukkin basket case.

Are you saying I resemble a normal person? I lead a normal life?

Are you fukking nuts?

Rouge, I live an "alternative" lifestyle, pal. Now it includes prescription pharmaceuticals.


I'd like to live a few more years of my weird life, I think the anti-depressants can only help.
 
May I ask why people are so anti anti depressant? I have only been on them for the last few years...but I am pretty sure that in certain situations they are life savers. People with major depressive disorders who are unable to "snap out of it" or even get out of bed and are rewired to be able to live happy, healthy lives seem to benefit.

Please fill me in on the thinking here. I am genuinely interested. Is it really the belief that the same thing can be achieved by other methods? Not being snarky there, truly interested. I know my brother feels the same way, but I have never really gotten into it with him.

So before those pills came out people were just dying all over the place?

I would guess there are more suicides nowadays.. :dunno:
 
Anxious/depressive people get to reproduce more often thanks to SSRI's. Creates a whole new generation of kids also prone to mood disorders.

Not a bad business model. :light:

Ima try to wean myself off of Lexapro before the end of the year.
 
The side effects I guess for most(not Wellbutrin) are dampened libido/impotence but if you are depressed you really don't feel like having sex anyway. Another side effect is weight gain (Not Wellbutrin) but if you don't have the desire or energy to do anything but lay in bed all day, you will gain weight anyway.

I don't know the rates on suicides then versus now. A/Ds have been around for a long time now. I believe (could be wrong) depression used to be treated with narcotics.

All I know is in researching various a/ds, I have read hundreds if not thousands of stories of people who say the pills saved their lives...not necessarily literally, but allowed them to function and have a career and family. Do you know that depressed persons can qualify for disability? Do you really want to subsidize someone who can be helped by modern medicine?

Is it all pharmaceuticals that some here have a disdain for or is it just a/ds/benzos and other non recreational drugs? I'm confused. Really wanting to understand opposite view.

I will say I there is a lot I dislike about big pharma, and I believe that there is a tendency to overprescribe certain medications. That being said, if it helps someone function, I can't fault it.
