Medications for a minor?!
Question: Medications for a minor!?
Hello!. I am going to my family doctor very shortly [we could not afford one of the psychiatrists that my psychologist reffered us to, and the other did not take people under eighteen]!. My parents and I are going to talk about being put on medication for depression!.
What medication would they perscribe me if I told them my symptoms!? My symptoms are: feeling that I have to cry but can't, exhausted but can't get to sleep, serious lack of motivation, severe feelings of in adecquecy, always feeling hopeless, major irritability, my appetite has sky-rocketed, among other things!. I also have a lot of anxiety and paranoia!.
So, what do you think they would advise me to take!? I am 17, so I'm not sure what medications they are allowed to perscribe me - besides Prozac!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't believe that anyone should take medication unless you really need it!. I think people rely too much on medication and not enough about healing themselves!.
I think that you should only take the medication if all else fails!. You need to open up and honestly face your feelings and your problems!. I am not saying you don't need medication just that maybe you should concentrate more on dealing with the issues before medicating
Hope all goes well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't take Prozac!. It only works short-term and then the dosage has to be moved up and up!. It's not a good drug!.
There are so many anti-depression medicines out there than I can't tell you what he/she will try!. It may take a while to find one that works for you!. I had a lot of medications tried on me till I found one that worked!. You have to try to be patient, it may take a while!.
Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
