Thanks for sharing your positive experience. I was dreading the side effects and not expecting them to do anything positive for at least a week, but since taking my first pill yesterday I've been feeling slightly better already. Actually, yesterday I genuinely felt good. Almost too good. Side effects are minimal so far as well. I'm aware it's too early to make any conclusions, but I feel hopeful now. I'm taking any bit of happiness and sanity I can get.

This is a miracle drug for most people with anxiety. It has made me feelll so happy and myself again

[bestymusic]

Could citalpram help with sleep issues ? Thanks

My Dr put me at 'ease' too. She suggested I go on SSRIs, benzos and sleeping pills for 6 months for panic attacks. She reassured me that there are no side effects. Hahahaha I decided to not take anything and naturally got better. Turns out I also had low blood sugar too

Antidepressants don't make you different person. I he make you become you own person again ❤

I used to take effexor was like zombe, taken wellbutrin nearly twenty years but they made me tired apathetic uncreative not like me taken depoalgos for pain five years that helps quell depression but antidepressants dont

[drannoceremat]

It will be positive at first but will turn changing you and your feelings, don't take this for long-term, never !

Antidepressants ruined my life. This video is terrible. There are many terrible side effects: sexual dysfunctions, emotional blunting, anhedonia, cognitive impairments and the list goes on!!! Don't take it!!!

Coldturkey withdrawal can lead to seizures, psychosis and even sudden death.
Potential for long lasting iatrogenic injury.
And PSSD, post ssri/snri sexual dysfunction inclusive anhedonia which can be permanent.
But good luck at playing russian roulette with your life over some minor mood issues...
When you want to come off, that's when the real issues with those drugs and also shrinks emerge, who just don't want to taper or don't even know how to do it in a safe manner.

1.8 % better than placebo ...not worth it considering all the negative side effects

[billybandyk]

Only if u believe that mental health conditions r "chemical imbalances" will b subjected 2 these poisonous psych meds. I'm well aware that it affects each individual differently but after 30+ different psych meds ovr a 40+ yr period b4 becoming psych med-free on 1/1/2017, the negative side effects far outweighed any "benefits" ovr cumulative time. Best 2 ya if u believe otherwise.

Antidepressants don’t fix any issues, they just push down all your emotions more which makes it even harder to connect to your feelings to work through them, not to mention they have many horrible side effects and discontinuing them is extremely hard.
