oh yeah, the reason for all the switches isn't because i don't need the meds, i do... i have high anxiety, i am bi-polar, and i have severe insomnia... the insomnia really makes the other two "shine" in runs in both sides of my family, my mother my brothers, my grandma, i know a couple of my aunts have it on my dad's side, more aunts/uncles on my dad's side.... we're just a breeding ground for mental illness...
I dont know but where do we draw how serious someone's depression is? When they start cutting? Multiple failed suicide attempts? Or will final death be when we start taking it seriously?
I was on zoloft once and I really didn't like the way it made me feel. I was shaky, short of breath and light headed. But bad idea to go off it, it just got almost 10x worse. We all get depressed, some of us deal with it better than others and some just can't handle it. I heard it some kind of unbalance of chemcials in your brain but I cant be too specific seeing as I havent really read into it.
All in all, I do think the diagnosing of any type of disease or mental malfunction of a person is getting ridculous sometimes but I cant say so much for depression because having gone through it, its something real and its really tough do deal with on your own.

Ive been taking zoloft and wellbutrin for about a year now for my anxiety i have no idea why the doctor gave me two different kinds but whatever, i havent takin my pills in days and i feel like shit i need to take them but i dont want to because i also dont like the way it makes me feel i still have anxiety but im like addicted or something cuz whenever i try to stop taking them i feel like shit and get headaches etc. Its bullshit how doctors are giving them away now i need to ween myself but i would have to cut the pills in half since im taking the lowest dose and it just seems like a hassle. Imma start doing that and i advise anyone who thinks there depresssed its really not worth taking those pills because you will be addicted, but i guess if youre really suicidal go ahead it might help. i felt no different.....
all of that shit is evil. tell her to stay far far away form it. anything that can do those kids of things to people clearly arent safe to be perswcribed to anyone, especially children..who knows the mindfucks kids would go through on that type of stuff
well, i do. it sucks. stay away from it!
we should jsut all smoke weed if we feel under the weather :rasta:
Yeah man, anti-depressant pills are no good for short term stuff IMO. My mom wouldn't except that I was bi-polar and would claim my depression was just passing, but when I had my first noticable manic episode and was put into a psychiatric hospital she knew I actually needed those types of pills. I stopped taking them after a while and quit them all cold turkey and never had anything really bad happen. But my friend was on zoloft for a few years and quit by lowering the dose him self every two days until just stopping. He had no bad side-effects. But sounds like your sister? should just go back on the pills, and slowly take herself off them.
anti depressants are the devil. i suspect the doctor gave her such a longer dosage of it because you need to ween yourself off of it slooowwwly. after the 5 months he wil probably give her 3 more months with less of a dosage. after that, maybe 2 months of a slightly smaller dosage, and then after that she might be able to stop
WOw...what a fuckin ignorant thing to say. i dont mean to sound rude, but that makes you fucktard of the day. dont say that shit. some ppl really need those for times when they have serious depression problems. you can state that you dont like em, but you shoulda said it differently man. also that avatar adds to your ignorance. dont post that shit next time. some ppl cant alwas smoke weed cuz their memory gets fucked or their parentals think its an accuse to get high. have a nice day.Quote:

Marijuana is the safest and best drug against depression .
Zoloft and Prozac are waste of time.
At least for me they didn't do much.
