Are anti-depressant medications for real?

Question

All they have done for me is made me gain weight, and feel doped up all the time. I feel sick when I'm on them, and even worse when I'm off of them. Is this some sick joke?

Answer 1

I do wonder if its all just a big con set up by large companies who have found a massive lucrative market for there products & doctors are happy to go along with it to make there job easier......it could all be a massive conspiracy??

Answer 2

Every one is different and while your experience is not good, others have been saved by those medicines. Try to change the medications till you find something which agrees with you. Or try alternative medical systems, but don't stop these at once.

Answer 3

You need to go back to your doctor and explain how you are feeling. Different anti-depressants affect everyone differently, so you might find that something else does work.
Also, if you haven't been on it very long, give it a few weeks because the side affects may go away once your body adjusts to it.

Answer 4

No, it's just some medications, may not work for people and they can work great for other people, maybe this medication is not the one for you tell your psychiatrist, and ask him to change your pill, tell him why you want to change it, and tell him your problems, He should change it , well Good Luck!

Answer 5

antidepressants don't work for everyone. you may need to try something else (like omega-3 fatty acid or exercise) or even a different class of medication.

Answer 6

In my opinion, yes. I think those drugs are some kind of a $ick joke. Some big corporation are laughing all the way to the bank. Welcome to the world of neurological damage.
