Answers:
I have previously been on anti depressants so I can give you the low down!. Initially its recommended you use other methods such as counselling, yoga, exercise things like that and reducing alcohol intake as its a depressant!. Then you can go onto medication!. There are however some herbal medications that can be used initially for mild depression, St Johns Wart and I think the other is serotonin!. They can't be used in conjunction with medical prescription anti depressants!.

There are two different types of tablets!. There are tablets for more anxiety depression, your prozac and the like!. Then for depression that is feeling down and hopeless you can take tablets that from what my doctor told me (as these were the ones I took) encourage the positive reactions in your brain so basically depression can be a chemical imbalance!. So yes effectively they do make you feel more positive, but its a mixture of things that help!. Mine helped me get through a bad patch!. Now yoga, exercise and alot less alcohol help me stay positive!. Hope that helped!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If this is your first bout with depression, you should wait and see if you come out of it!. Depression is a normal part of life and everyone experiences it at least once in their life!. Sometimes intense exercise, long walks, and being around upbeat people can bring you out of it!.

If this a recurring problem, you can try herbal remedies that are available at health food stores or online!. St!. John's Wort, Valerian Root, and 5-HTP (the strongest of the 3) are available separately or in combination formulas!. Health store employees are usually quite knowledgeable, but their product is pricey!.

If these don't work for you, then go see a doctor!. They have many anti-depressants available to prescribe!. Be aware of the risk and research depression and medications online!.

These products can work if they are prescribed at the right dosage, but should only be used as a last resort!. These meds can take up to two months before people notice a positive change!. It's good to know that going in!. Hopefully you can get out of this depression without medication!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Doctors will usually only prescribe medications to people who have clinical depression!. Feeling down for a few days =/= clinical depression!.

That aside, there are plenty of medications available for people with depression!. Some of them work better than others!. It's hit-or-miss!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Despite what you may have heard in the news about certain anti-depressants, I personally found that Prozac had a marked, positive effect on my mood!. The only trouble is that they can make you "too happy", i!.e!. you go around with a positive mood when your life isn't really going well!. Depression is our brain's way of telling us that something is wrong with our lives!.

Best to talk this thing through with your GP!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Can't actually guarantee happiness, but a lift in mood!. You could go to an emotional specialist and tell him/her how you feel, they may send you to counseling or prescrbe an stimulant, etc!. But, if money is an object, try looking towards the good things and fight the source of your depression!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, there is!. Lexapro, Cymbalta, Prozac, Welbutrin, are just some off the top of my head!. You should contact your doctor and go talk to them about it!. If it's actual depression, then these medications might help!.
Trust me, I have been there!. Matter of fact I am still on anti-depressants, (Lexapro) and it works amazingly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes but be very careful!. Don't take cocaine like the other post said!. If you really think you are, have a doctor check you out!. Also, change some small stress causes in your life, if you can!. Listen to music, work out, go out more!.!.!.maybe that could help!. I've gone through a lot of depression and I'm not on anything but simple life changes have helped a lot!. Music is a big thing!.!.!.if you're into music, try a new instrument or some other kind of art!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
