Anti-depressant advice

Post Reply New Topic

Anti Depressants are a personal thing, what can make one perosn better, can make another a lot worse. Its a case of finding the one thats right for you.

As for the side effects, some CAN make you lose or agin weight but that does not mean it will happen for you.

Talk it through with your doctor and state what you want out of it.

Remember though, some can take up up to 6 weeks to have any effect and can make you feel worse before you feel better.

Good luck.

With drugs that impact pituitary hormone output you would expect there is potential for long-range impact on a developing brain as well as the rest of the body; but, in adolescence probably not nearly of the magnitude as in utero. I would expect dopamine/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors would not have the same adverse physique impact as SSRIs/MAOIs; but, they do have their own acute toxicity risks.

You probably would do well to take charge of your health first to make sure nothing clinically significant is affecting your mood; even if someone would be glad to just prescribe a mood drug and be done with it.

Incorporate walnuts into your diet-studies show that they help against stress and depression.

I was on Trileptal! Surprisingly, it helps a lot with sensory issues, and everything!! !! It didnt make me gain any weight.
