Question: How do you feel when you take anti-depressants!? Do they make you feel happy or just not really sad!?
Answers:
Anti depressants dont do jack if you dont meet them half way!. Its like expecting to lose weight by sleeping all day, aint gonna work!.
Yes, they do help alot of people although there are few that have medication resistant bodies!.
They balance out chemicals to regulate stress/depression/anxiety/ all the other stuff so that its at a normal range!. from feeling "normal" you tend to do the things everyone else does, u stop over eating, start eating if you dont eat, you have more energy and exercise, you socialized more, different things liek that!.
but you haev to meet em half way!. do stuff to help yourself dont rely ONLY on meds!. Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

Been on them for years and they're not happy pills - they can make you feel a hundred different things because different people react to them differently and you may need to go through a few types before you find one that 'works for you' - some have horrible side effects that last forever including restlessness, exhaustion, head aches - they don't make you feel happy, but they take about 2 weeks to start working if they do work and they're no solution for me - they make you feel slightly better than you felt before, more normal, not happy and over the moon unless its something strong like Effexor and that doesn't last longer than a couple of weeks before you get used to it and you build up a tolerance so the dose goes up and its so hard to come off them - believe me I've tried - they sometimes make you think everything is ok, they make you lose your emotions so I guess that helps if you're sad and they can make you so tired and slow that all you want to do is sleep through your problems - so I guess that's a good solution as any!. So don't be upset if you take one tablet and don't feel over the moon all of a sudden, in the first couple of weeks they actually make you feel more depressed!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Anti-depressants arent some magic happy pill!. If they were, everybody would be taking them weather they are depressed or not to feel good!. Anti-depressants are designed to lift your mood enough for you to be able to do the rest of the work needed yourself to combat your depression!. This could include a talking therapy like counselling, eating a healthier diet, excercising more and learning coping techniques!.
I've been taking Prozac for almost 5 months but still have a long way to go with my depression!. It has helped balance out my mood significantly and I dont have all the symptoms of depression that I used to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Antidepressants can affect everyone in different ways!. For me, a low dose decreased the length of my depression for a little while!. I noticed that my down days were not occurring as much!. This is no longer the case and the downs I experience are dreadful!. An increase in medication sent me all over the place - I was up and down like a yo yo!. This is one of the things that led me on the road to be diagnosed with Bipolar disorder!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
ADs are not a miracle cure and they do not 'make' people feel anything!. They alter your body chemistry and can enable you to regain 'normal' patterns of eating, sleeping, thinking and managing your emotions!. Some people find them very helpful, others less so!. Some people say that the ADs actually make them feel like zombies!. And they all have side effects - I wouldn't advise anyone to take them unless they really need to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
