Antidepressants Are Great

All antidepressants are great! You can't go wrong! They make you tired all the time, everything is like a day-dream or being drunk 24/7, you have no concentration among other great side affects.Being 100% honest, I'm pretty certain it's the real life equivalent of being a zombie.

I felt dead inside and have still not recovered fully two years on.

If you want permanent issues to what in theory is a temporary problem take as many meds as you can.

If you actually want to get better don't take tablets, go and actually talk to a professional who isn't paid to put you on tablets for the long run (they get bonuses for putting you on prescription for certain drugs) and speak to a Councillor. I found C.B.T. very helpful.

Please please please ask yourself: "do I need to take medication for this", I wish I had before I saw my GP. It ruined my life for over a year, I'm so lucky that my now wife stood by me through it all.

Everyone can be affected differently by medications. My ex-husband ended up trying many different antidepressants, some did make him feel like a zombie, some didn't, it was really just a matter of trial an error to find what worked for him, and didn't cause such unwanted side effects.

The typical side effects of most can include nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

I currently take Fluoxetine, the generic for Prozac, for my hormonally induced anxiety, and OCD, but it don't cause me any issues like you've mentioned. If my dosage is changed, I'm sometimes a little tired for the first few weeks, while my body adjusts, which is normal.

Seeking counsel ling, as you mentioned, is always a good idea for those with severe depressive issues.

What antidepressants were you taking?
