Usually you need a presctription. Find yourself a doctor, most of them LOVE giving out Prescriptions, ask for samples too!
You don't get high of Prescription Anti-Dressions Drugs..., they mostly just STABILIZE your Mood.
And they are hit or miss! You might have to try several different ones! It can very well be that your Buddy says :hey! this one is great!...And you try it and it does exactly DICK for YOU!
It took me & my Doctor MONTHS & 4 Different Types of Drugs to find the RIGHT ONE!
Don't give up!

There are sites out there that sell that kind of medication but it's not legal in the United States. The sites are usually from overseas or Canada. The reason why it's not legal is that you need to have a doctor prescribe the medication and monitor the level you are taking. Taking antidepressents is kind of tough sometimes because it can take awhile to find the right dosage and the right medication. With the side effects that some of them have you need to have a doctor watch to make sure nothing serious develops. Some of the side effects can be damage to your organs or the medication can cause severed depression and or suicide.

You need a doctor or if you know some one who is on anti depressant then may be you can buy them off that person. A pharmacy won't sell it but I have a friend that went to a country and was able to what she wanted with out a prescription because there is a doctor shortage

You need a prescription for anti-depressants.
There may be an under lying issue that can be resolved before you start taking this medicine.
All the best to you and heads up

anti-depression drugs can be very dangerous and can kill you if you dont know what you're doing, you should never take it unless a doctor has prescribed it FOR YOU. Only the doctor can know the right amount and drug to give you. You should also seek other options first such as counseling.

Go to your doctor ... doctors don't ask all that many questions ... and you can say you are just depressed and need some meds... but be careful cause some can have bad side effects

You cannot get antidepressants without a doctor's prescription. You cannot just buy them in the store.

You can go on-line and order it. They will ask you medical questions to see if that is the right script for you but then they will authorize the transaction. Careful - they will charge you much more than a regular doctor visit and the prescription costs.
