I talked to someone who was taking anti-depressants when her husband died!. She said it numbed her, but when she stopped the pain just overcame her!.

When you are upset, your body uses a lot of b vitamins and you can get a deficiency!. Take Vitamin B!.

You should also take essential fatty acids such as Omega 3 fish oil!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Things change in your life, people, and money come and go!. Your going through a time in your life when things are changing rapidly, and you feel like nothing is going to get better and but it is going to eventually!.
I have been on anti depressants since I was 16, and let me tell you this!.!. you cant expect it to solve all of your problems you have to want to change!. When you start the meds It can make you a little more depressed but only because your body is getting used to it thats just a short side effect!. But all the pills do is balance out the chemicals in your body so you can function at a more normal level!.

acually it wolud probably be a bad idea to take any meds even though it works it comes with a catch and many side effect prescription costs psciatry fees numerous trial and error process not to mention some of these drugs can zone u out and make u lose touch with relaity badly not to mention make u fat even more depressed and all kinds of enduced side effects ive been diagnosed with depressin but i dont even take the meds anymore i found the best way for me to treat it is to stay active goto the gym helps tremendously and can even cure addictions from drugs just by staying healthy you can take vitamins boost drinks for energy and getting a job u like or anything and also i would recommend going out there and trying to meet new people if i were u i would tell your counsleors u dont want to try meds and just try talking about everything with them if thats doesnt help and u decide to take them anyways becareful what u get into alot of the drugs they give u are just scams to get u to take more and more so try what i said it works for me i even go out by myslef once in awhile for fun like the movies or something and i feel alot better now than even and ive been off meds for 6 months now after taking them for about 6 years before that good luck hope u feel betterWww@Answer-Health@Com

I think what u need is something more for post traumatic stress!. Something short term!. Things like prozac take 30 days to get into your blood and you won't get anything from it until then!. I would recommend taking a benzo for a month or so until your stress level has gone down!. Maybe a low dose of xanax, klonopin or ativan would be very helpful to you!. It will help you sleep and keep your mind off of what ever may be bothering you!. All anit depressants will take 30 days to start working!. They have to get into your blood stream and whatnot and its a long wait for not much relief!. From my experience anyway!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think anti-depressants do much difference, probably very little!. I wouldn't even bother with them if I were you!. I tried them, but there useless!. The best way to get rid of depression is if you just be positive about life and don't be negative which can make you depressed!. However I still get mood swings, there annoyingWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yes it works it will take about 2 weeks to get into your system and you should stay on them for at least 2 months they are not happy pills but do settle down mood swings and elevate your mood!. Best for me is efexor(venaflaxin) or cipramil it will suppress your desire for sex but hopefully you won't need them for too long!.

if you are really depressed it does help a lot and its not something that you have to be on for the rest of your life, i was on mine for 2 years and went from never wanting to leave the house to being an obnoxiously out going person!. Don't be scared of it!. The only thing is that you have to watch what you eat else you'll gain weight, but it is easy to loose and worth it for the results!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'd taken Effexor for depression after my wife and I split up, and I can't say I'd recommend it!. It did very little for the depression, and it has very strange side effects!. The first three days are very strange, and when you come off of them, it's the same thing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

be careful about med like that!. I am glad to hear that your doc wants you to think it over!. My last doc just wanted to push meds on me and up the dose!. I took Effexor!. If i missed a dose i would have these weird physical uncomfortable feelings, like shocks were going threw my body!. Maybe you could see a counselor!. good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
