I'm on wellbutrin which works really good for the most part!. I still have my ups and downs though!. I'm not sure why people go straight for the meds when their depressed or think they're depressed!. People tend to get clinical depression and just feeling blue mixed up!. I went through Lithium, Citalopram, and something else which didn't help me!. They acutally caused more harm than good!. I was hospitalized for something completley different than depression which was just an underlying part!. Now I'm good and would like to get off meds but I know what happens when I do go off them!.

Not everyone responds to anti-depressants unfortunately!. You should talk to your doctor to find out if there are more recent medications that might help you!. You need to do some research to find out what your option are and what they might be!. You also need to talk to your doctor and maybe think about some other options!. You don't' say if you're also doing talk therapy there have been studies that have proven that it's the combination of the two that give you the best results!.

How do anti-depressants help you it helps to re balance your brain chemicals which is what has caused the depression in the place!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm being treated for depression, and take Lexapro and Wellbutrin - and it has worked very well for me!.

As it was explained to me, there are a couple different types of depression!. One, where the brain chemistry isn't correct - and the medications can correct!. The other type of depression is triggered by something that has happened or is going on - and antidepressants may not work for that, and counseling is needed to work through the cause or causes of that kind of depression!.

Best of luck to you!! Paul!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sometimes it takes a while to find the right anti-depressant!. Different ones work for different people!. I am on welbutrin and it seems to work very well for me!. I don't think that people should expect meds to make all their problems go away!. I think that it is a combination of therapy and the meds that helps!. Sometimes just therapy works for some people!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've never took them, but I know people who have!. And the one person ended up killing himself due to them!. They become a addiction and just eat away at you and sometimes some drive you mentally insane!.

if your depressed you shouldnt go to meds at first!.
it will just screw you up
well thats my opionion anywaysWww@Answer-Health@Com

I too have been on most antidepressants, 20 years of therapy, and electroshock therapy and none of it helped me!. What helped me was when the day came that I was able to accept myself for who I was!. It solved my self esteem problems and I have felt great ever since!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Anti-depressant meds don't work for me!. So I tried natural herbs like Rosemary and kava kava they seem to work for me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
