It's my understanding they don't know exactly how many commonly used psych meds work (& why they often don't work) because brain chemistry is just too complicated.

Correct, many online medical sources say scientist don't fully understand why some antidepressants work.

In the beginning of my treatment they insisted on me taking setraline, when I said it wasn't working they just said we can go up to 300mg which I never did. Prozac same thing, no effect, escitalopram only made me fat. And tried some more I can't remember, the only one that worked for me is one that is made primary for people with PTSD not very well known it's a new generation as my doc said. But after seeing so many Inwas so tired of their lies.

wow, plz tell us lol

They have a generalized view of how it works. But each person is unique so the outcome will vary. They are using the most recent dates and applying it to everyone.

I'm taking Viorxetine 20mg, bear in mind, that our bodies and minds are different, what works for me could not work for you or vice versa. This one worked for me. The lol is the part I don't ret it with all the respect.

I'm not a medical professional so I don't know if someone accurate or not but there is one thing that still kind of bothers me.

I don't understand why whenever I take a new antidepressant, the psychiatrists always say that it may cause suicidal thoughts. I don't understand how a pill can cause suicidal thoughts. It implies that suicidal thoughts are only because of the mind and not other circumstances.

I wonder why the psychiatrists never seem to acknowledge that if someone's life is shit, they will think it is shit. Pill or not.

I've had this happen to me with several medications & believe me, it was the pills. I've been on & off (mostly on) meds since I was 17. The one that has worked the best (but not been successful) is Zoloft. As newer ones have come out, we've tried them. Some don't work & some will all of the sudden make me think of doing something to harm myself when I get stressed. It's a fleeting thought, but I hadn't been thinking about it beforehand. That's when I know it's time to get off that med. I don't need to get any worse than a fleeting thought when I'm not feeling suicidal. That would be asinine. A few days later, no more fleeting thoughts.

I have heard that some medications increase motivation and energy and in turn lead to acting more on suicidal thoughts. Meds never cease to confuse me.

Chemical imbalance is a hypothesis supported by little evidence. I think depression is more complex than that ... read the struggling history between CCHR vs APA in following link
