Anyone here take anti-depressants? (Zoloft, Paxil, Lithium, etc)

[Urinal Mint]

Just curious how your mileage varies with them... I don't feel like I need to take any of this stuff (but I know I have a problem with depression); however, I'm curious how medication has affected anyone with a mood disorder.

Why not get into some therapy? My dad missed a few of my little league games when I was younger, and I still haven't recovered.

One of my friends was on Zoloft, and he said that it affected his "performance."

I was prescribed Celexa around two years ago.

It took about three weeks for them to take effect, but they did help. The biggest change I remember was driving to work one evening, windows down, radio up... And suddenly realizing that I was happy. And for no reason at all. It was the first time I remembered ever feeling like that. It was quite a shock.

Why I quit taking them I don't know, but I haven't taken them in months.

Not rich, true. Many anti-depressants have that as a side effect.

Celexa was another one I was trying to think of... how do you feel emotionally now that you're not taking them?

I used to take Paxil and it was just made me feel very mello. It just made me feel relaxed even though the effect wasn't that great.

 

[Viper GTS]

Back towards where I was when I was given the prescription, but not as bad.

[pulpp]

i took Paxil for a while, didnt do sh!t...

 

[Colt45]

i used to be on... damn i forget the real name.. but the brand name is prozac, it didnt really do anything...

edit: it did make me nauseated once in a while though..

 

[StormRider]

A couple of years ago I took Saint John's Wort.

 

[Rage187]

I took Paxil for 6 months, didn't do a damn thing..

Elvil just made me sleepy


XanaX made me sleepy

Valium made me sleepy

the first 2 are antidepressants

the last 2 are mostly downers..

I take nothing now and am fine..

 

[JimboTheConquer]

Lithium is NOT an antidepressant.
Lithium will probably depress you.
Lithium will make food taste differently.
Lithium is generally evil.

Ask your doctor about trying you on Wellbutrin.

 

[pulpp]

intresting, seems i am not the only one who had thinks paxil doesnt do sh!t......

 

[Rage187]

Paxil= burning $140 a month...

 

[Azraele]

Talk to your doc about it, he/she will be able to recommend a good medicine for you.

 

[me4get]

I take Effexor, seroquel and Amitripoline (sp?). Keeps my depression and anxiety better tha not taking them. Have taken Deseryl, Prozac, Paxil, &amp; Ativan in the last 12 yrs.

If i feel down, i got to the local park and throw sticks infront of oncoming rollerbladers.

Haha, now that's better then any medication.

 

[BoberFett]

I have been on Celexa for several months now. I have noticed &quot;performance&quot; as a side effect. Other than that it's been good.

 

[FelixDeCat]

Smiling always helps!

Seriously though someone I used work with took that stuff. Initially makes you feel good for no reason then wears off and then you feel bad for no reason. Think it was Paxil.

 

[apoppin]

My MD prescribed Paxil and then Celexa for me after my recent accident.

Too many side effects. I dropped them in favor of St. John's Wort. Works great for me with no side effects (that I can notice).

She also prescribed 3,200 mg a day of Ibuprofen as an anti-inflamatory. Too much nausea. I did some research and found that the herbal anti-inflamatory Ginger/Curcumin/Bromelin combination works far better (less pain and stiffness) with far less undesirable side effects.

 

[Johnnie]

i used to eat Xanax

 

[RossMAN]

I never realized how many people are depressed, why? Is there a particular reason or event that started the depression?
