Actually, Mr RN, he asked for an opinion so I'll give mine!.
My opinion is that the pharmaceutical industry is totally separate from the care that a doctor can provide!. With anti-depressants, those work on mental conditions and have nothing at all to do with the medical field, but psychiatry!. So medical doctors have no reason to prescribe any kind of anti-depressant unless the brain is broken and I haven't seen anybody walking around with a broken brain yet!.
Anti-depressants are mostly Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors!. There are Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors!. My opinion on those is a very negative one!. They stop the body from doing what the body is supposed to do!. You become depressed because your body is not producing something or not enough of something!.
Your body is on-off, on-off, on-off all day long until the sun goes down and then it produces something keep it shut down so it can rest and repair!. When you are depressed, your body stays in the off position because of what the body produces to shut it down!.
When the sun goes down, your body produces a hormone called 5-Hydroxytryptophan and it is synthesized from the amino acid l-Tryptophan!. From this substance, Serotonin is produced and from the Serotonin another substance called Melatonin is produced and that controls your sleeping pattern, your Circadian Rhythm!.

What works for one may not be good for another - it's very very hard to find and then fine tune the right one (if indeed you should even be on them) for the individual person - so there is no "best" - it's just what is best for you personally as precribed by your doctor!.
Personally, I think they are handed out far too easily these days and people don't have the coping skills they need without taking pills anymore!. A small minority of folks really do need these - but the vast majority do not and they can be a potentially dangerous thing to take and must be closely monitored by your physician!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't have an opinion on anti-depressants, but i will have once i start taking the ones i have from the doctor!. I don't really want to take them but i don't have any other option really as my depression can get quite serious and can last for ages!. The doctor is referring me to a counsellor too, to see if that helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
They aren't "happy" pills!. Some people think they are supposed to make you happy and get disappointed when they are "normal"!. I was on Cymbalta for a while and i really didn't see any changes!. I am now on Zoloft and i can see myself gradually getting to the "normal" feeling!. Every antidepressant reacts different to each person!. Sometimes it can be a trial and error process until you find the right one!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Personally, I don't care what the "doctors or RN'S say!.!.!.those pills are poison!!! I am speaking from experience here!. Why would purposefully ingest any thing that is supposed to treat a disorder when the side effects add to or create DISORDERS!?!?!?!?!?!? Come on! Try new such and such, the side effects may be - - - - - and talk to your doctor if your experience - - - - and stop taking immediately if you notice - - - !. Yeah, that will help! People "back in the day" did not eat any of that crap for the same problems ppl have today!. Didn't have half of the problems that exist today!. I need a new pill for the side effects of the first pill, does that Sound right to you!? Good luck!. Ask your doc!. for a more Natural method!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
They are over used! Yes, it's true that in some cases there's a chemical imbalance but I think in a lot of cases there are other issues creating the problem!. Rather than dealing with the root of what's causing the depression, the meds just numb you to it!. They don't solve your problem!.!.!.!. you must do that!. I think counseling and facing (honestly) whatever issues are making you depressed would be a much better first step to long term healing, as opposed to being a prozac zombie!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Anti-depressants have many different affects on different people!. Some are good and some are bad unfortunately!. Personally, I feel that it created more problems for one of my family members than helping him!. The only way to know is to at least try it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
some people have chemical imbalances that they can not control!.!.!.
you may have to try a few before one works well for you, all people are different!.!.!.
I tried Paxil, (walking zombie, weight gain, TIRED) Lexapro, (not AS bad!.!.!.) and currently use Cymbalta, I like itWww@Answer-Health@Com

They all work different for different people!. Zoloft has been on the market the longest and has very few side effects!. I would start with that one!. You may have to try a couple before you find one that works for you!. Give them about 2 weeks to get into your system!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
As people have said above they are pretty bad and should only be used if your situation is life threatening!. Try therapy!. I was put on Effexor because I was resistant to other anti-depressants and now I can never get off them because of the withdrawals!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Exercise should be the first thing you try!. Anti-depressants have a lot of side effects and they are expensive!. 1 hour of exercise a day made all the difference in my life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
everybody chemical makeup is very different and it also depends on the symptons, you would need to have a full evaluation from a therapist and a psychiatrist!. good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
