Are anti depresants useless?

I use "Selectra 100 mg"

I took 21 pills in the morning. I still dont feel anything. No difference.

 

Did you buy them from Chy-na?
That country has a reputation for making pharmaceutical drugs out of plaster and dry wall.

 

I bought it from pharmacy.

 

Still no effect. Nothing at all.

 

I take Zoloft and Abilify. Works like a charm.

 

My left arm aches.

 

Keep taking 21 pills at a time you gonna die man. See a doctor and get the right pills prescribed for your particular type of depression.

 

i believe the tag line question, would depend entirely how much of the depression had a physiological component.
wearing a bandana with i smile painted on it would likely do as much for the psychological component.
(just my non-perffeshornal opinion of course)
expectation is a natural enough knee-jerk, and probably none of us can completely avoid having them,
but depression i highly suspect, is another one of those things, that have their roots in expectation,
and cultural assumptions (which is an equal phrase for "what everybody knows")(and are also just another form of expectations)

you treat a physiological problem by physiological means, you treat software errors in you head, like maybe you would treat software errors elsewhere?
which raises what is to me and interesting question; how WOULD you treat, or even recognize, depression in an artificial intelligence?

 

I just think you're looking for antidepressants to give you a high, which they won't.

You just won't be quite as miserable.

 

I was wondering about this just the other day. I suspect that the root cause of depression on a neurological level has to do with the absence or presence of certain neurotransmitters or serotonin or something. If you can supplement/stimulate that with an anti-depressant, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

 

If you take enough of them you will have a seizure and die.

There are anti-depressants and anti-depressants. What works for one person often has the opposite effect on others. You cannot ... dare not self medicate when it comes to Persistent Depressive Disorder. Ask me ... been there, done that but got no tee shirt

 

No, not at all (I take Sertraline for anxiety) and have definitely noticed a fairly big improvement in symptoms.

 

Really not a good idea to follow the ideas of the Scientology cult.

 

Anti-depressants are beyond useless.

They are harmful.

Feeling depressed? Take action! Don't take a fucking pill to wash your woes away

 

I have first hand knowledge of psychiatrists and psychologists. They didn't help me at all. The hugs I got from the nursing staff meant much more to me. Its the medication that counts ... not the idiots who ask silly questions.

 

My shoulder broke that day. I dont know how it happened. I called ambulance because the pain of my right arm was unstandable.

I dont know how my shoulder broke after taking 21 pills of Selectra 100 mg. All I remember was I just slept later, then woke up in pain because my shoulder had been broken.

I had myself x rayed in hospital. Doctor said it.

I dont know what taking drugs have to do with my right shoulder being broken.

All I remember is, I slept later and woke up in pain later with my broken shoulder on bed.
