For everyone who takes medication or has taken it before, what kind of antidepressants did you take and what changes did you experience in your behaviour, physically, or mentally? And did it help you significantly?
Very good point about the weight gain on these medications. I've known many people who felt the need to see a therapist and ended up being put on antidepressents and then a few months later they've gained noticeable weight.The majority make you gain weight by increasing your appetite. You can literally gain 40 pounds in 2 months on those medications. I do not recommend them because then you'll be sad and fat or fatter.
They can also remove the ability to orgasm.
Wellbutrin is the best and doesn't cause weight gain and side effects. It also helps people quit smoking. Go with Wellbutrin. Don't get fat and unable to orgasm on traditional antidepressants. Zoloft, Prozac, lexapro, and those other demons included.
It's really ridiculous. As soon as I stopped taking Lexapro, the weight gain fell off. After that, I didn't take antidepressants for several years. you can also see it with celebrities. Kanye West gained a lot of weight on Lexapro.Very good point about the weight gain on these medications.

Why do people not care for us , seems selfish like they don't want to be near us or have a so called chance of shouldering some of our burden on them. But I would never put that on them. They don't even listen like we are invisible to them its a feeling not like any other.In my perspective most of drugs for depression would not work for me. Antidepressants are not answer. But stop the suffering is, which is almost impossible for suicidal people since no one can or willing to help to resolve everything.
Yeah, my father and ex-wife were both on that at different points and gained substantial amounts of weight.It's really ridiculous. As soon as I stopped taking Lexapro, the weight gain fell off.

I also had a friend who lost the ability to orgasm on SSRIs. Zoloft or Prozac I think. He was able to orgasm once he stopped taking it.
I've been on Celexa and Prozac and both made me hypomanic.For everyone who takes medication or has taken it before, what kind of antidepressants did you take and what changes did you experience in your behaviour, physically, or mentally? And did it help you significantly?
