I've been on zoloft for almost 2 years now and its great. some people say go to a therapist but that doesnt always help. I've been through 5 psychiatrists in the past 2 years as well and now i'm finaly with a good psychiatrist and good medication. I feel great!

Dad
My dad had, and still has, bad depression. Let me tell you, the first few months before he got treatment were horrible--for him, and for our family. I couldn't bear to see him like that, my own dad, crying and falling apart. But now, thanks to the antidepressents, he's almost his old self. Not the same, and he still has to be on them all the time, but so, so much better.

ive been on antidepressents for over 2 years, and it has seriously helped me with my depression. i used to feel suicidal everyday, but after finding the right med for me i havent felt that way in months. i know some have bad side effects but you shouldnt judge all of them based on a few meds. its all about finding the right anti depressent for you. and for those of you who think therapy is enough, its not and us on antidepressants are all in therapy and are working hard, its not just the meds. and buy the way my happiness is not "fake"

works for me
i have been on prozac for almost a year now and things have changed a lot. i'm still sorta depressed and suicidal, but not as much as before. i have changed my ways so much. i'm more outspoken and i don't care anymore what anyone thinks about me and i no longer hate myself. sometimes i feel really drugged up, but i don't wanna quit just now. i have two more years of highschool to do, and i think i can handle it without anti-depressants.

Works for me
I've been on zoloft for a while now, they switched me to zoloft from paxil because i think some side effects for that were suicide or something. I know that everyone is saying that you should see a phsycologist before you start using drugs but I do see a phsycologist and they were the one who perscribed it to me.

Saved my life
I have an anxiety disorder so I have to take anti-depressants every day. When I was in high school my anxiety was so bad I thought everyone hated me and I should just kill myself. I used to skip classes to cry in the bathroom. Luckily, I never went through with any of my attempts to kill myself and instead sought help. Now I'm much better and I don't get afraid of people as offten. I'm even starting to make new friends.

Wow.
My sister is on Anti depressants. and some make people gain weight. which is not a good thing when your sister is anorexic, makes matters worse.

I don't think they work, none of my friends that have taken them have changed for the better. Some became more emotionally unstable. Others had sexual side effects that depressed them even more.

zoloft
ive been on zoloft a few years and i alwasy feel like shit. i have major depression, bipolar and then some other depression they "cant cateragize". I'm always tired and never hungry. my grades have dropped and even tho im tired i dont sleep well.ive been on many anti depressants and i dont like them at all. i dont like the idea of having something controlling my moods that i dont want in there. They decided i was "incompetant" to decide if i coudl get off them or not. id rather be depressed and free from anti depressants then "happy" on them.
--Posted by troublemaker014



They're unnatural
yeah, anti depresants can work, but they're not natural. they force ur body back into a healthy state of mind when actually ur body is supposed to overcome it itself. thats how it gets stronger and it wont fall back into the depression, on the other hand, if you take the pills, ur body depend on it to get healthy and if it falls back, u will have to start allover again! Well thats what I think anyway
--Posted by toinkina



i hate them
In the last 4 years I have been forced to take multiple anti-depressants that haven't helped at all, and in some cases made me worse. I was on zoloft for the last year, and i was going crazy. it was the first time in 2 or 3 years i actually wanted to die. I haven't taken them in about 4 or 5 monthes now, and i've been feeling better then i have in years.

Just Horrible!
My aunt used to have moderate depression untill she started taking anti-depressants. They just made matters worse untill she got so severe she almost killed herself. She is currently still in the hospital because of purposefully overdosing on her anti-depressants. Anti-depressants don't work for a lot of people and can make things worse!! Be careful id=f you're gonna take them!
--Posted by smellykat1018



NO WAY
thats bad to take it, most of the time it will make you worse, it can also make people have thoughts of suicide.

My Brother...
I don't think these are anti-depresents but my brother takes them because he's really hyper to calm him down and when takes them he's not hungry, he's usually tired and irrated, and just not like his normal self...
--Posted by woah_its_nicolee



People are supposed to feel emotion....
Is my general attitude towards anti-depressants. Medication is being over prescribed to teenagers, that could possibly end up hurting them more in the long run. On the other hand, my mom is a very depressed person and acts completely insane when off her meds. When she's on them, she so much happier and lively.

I dont think so, because I know so!!!
I know for a fact that Anti-Depressants dont really work, because I am classified as extremely severe depression, bi-polar, adhd and add. I'm almost 18 now and I was on anti-depressants from the age 6 up until I turned 16 and decided that I wasn't going to let these pills control me anymore... for many years my mom made me take pills that just made me feel a whole hell of a lot worse.I was in and out of hospitals. and on tons of different meds to help, but none seemed to make me feel better, just worse. a couple of times I told my mom I was taking my meds but wasnt and I really felt better. but then when she found I wasnt taking them,she made me start taking them again. then there I was feeling worse than before when I stopped myself from taking them. But know that I've been off of anti-depressants for almost 2 years I'm at the most happiest moment in my life. I'm with the man i love so much and he excepts me for me and helps me to making my life a little better everyday and has been for the last 8 months. SO NO I DONT THINK ANTI-DEPRESSANTS ARE FOR ANYONE!!!!!! IT'S JUST AWAY FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO CLASSIFY US A CIVILIANS!!!!
