i

was takin em like everyday like i was uspposed to and wonder i woke up iwas like ---- man i dont feel like me anymore so i stopped takin em and only take it every once in a while jus 4 amusement. but yea all anti deppresannts are in teh long runn fuckked up

 

Yeah, forget that stuff if you can. Those type of meds just aren't a perfect science yet.

 

man i hope that dont happen to me im about to have to go on effexor

 

No prescription medication is an exact science.

I'm bipolar. I was on several different meds, misdiagnosed more than once, and almost killed myself because of an extreme mania from 100mg of Zoloft.

It can take a lot of time to get used to mood-enhancing scrips, and if they misdiagnose you, they won't work. If they're wrong for your particular body chemistry, they won't work. Hit-or-miss.

I wound up on the right combo, and now I'm happier than I've ever been.

 

anti-depressants are mind numbing zombie pills, really. i was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder and they ruined my grades, my art, my creativity, my fun. Of course, everyone else said I was doing fine... because I was numb. I've never met a person who takes them and it actually works right. They always end up numb or stupid. If life sucks, only you can deal with it. Pills only kill the symptoms. You might say "its because of chemical dependancies"; fuck that. In theory, everything, all emotions are chemical. Yet I know if I feel like shit there's a good reason and I can fix it.

 

mann, i took some the other day, seroquel to see what the fuck the deal was and fuck that shit.

i took one and started feeling relaxed and just like whatever you know? and then im like i dont see the potential to just be a zombie and not give a fuck bout shit on this stuff so i took another and i could not move, i was so tired. id be pasing out and like picturing me doing shit in my head and id think when id open my eyes i'd done something(lit a cigarette,grabbed at friend for attention,picked up book) and then i realize oh shit i didnt do anything. and i lost sense of time i sleep for what seemed like 30 minutes but was fucking 4 hours. that shit is dumb.

 

adn hell yah, you gotta sort problems out yourself, you cant just do drugs and think its reversing or helping your problems its omore like its putting at a temporary holt. it all comes down to you in the end.

 

agreed. People are just becoming more weak and complacent these days, unable to deal with common emotional trials because we've been so conditioned with our cush, lazy lives that the spilled milk in our lives throws us into a bout of depression.

 

Prescription anti depressants usually don't benefit the person taking them... they benefit parents and teachers by taking away the challenge of having to deal with someone they deem potentially disruptive. They are a convenience to other people as well as a cash cow to pharmaceuticals.

 

People are becoming that way because we are being told that it's ok to be weak and complacent and that there are easy fixes to all of life's little problems. It's called cultivating and nurturing a market to pour money into a corporation that peddles drugs that will do more harm than good.

 

agreed; usually its the unique, interesting, and *gasp* intelligent free thinkers are diagnosed with ADHD or ADD because they think too fast for most sheep to understand; depression because they are deemed "pessimistic" for being realistic.

 

You get it!

The "hyper" people in school when I was growing up were forced to learn self discipline. Sure their grades did suffer a tad but when they mastered their challenge they became the most creative, brilliant souls. ADHD is a convenient diagnosis for what is in fact unharnessed potential to greatness and it's being drugged right out of people.... and the population is being brainwashed into thinking it's a fucking mental disorder that requires treatment. It's truly criminal what is happening to society... how people are being programmed into buying into corporate bullshit.

 

Nice to meet you.

 

yeah right. I've yet to meet you in person. Let me see you without the meds, and with. Dude, life sucks, but you can't be weak and simply rely on that shit.

 

Without the meds, I'm depressed, miserable, non-productive, angry, anti-social, hateful, sometimes suicidal, and sometimes homicidal with no intent. Mentally ill people who are worse off than I am fear me, literally they fear for their lives when I'm off my meds. You don't want to see me without my meds.

I'm not being weak by relying on my meds. I'm being responsible and not putting others at risk.

 

sure thats not just what the doctors tell you? Buying into all these symptoms, come on man i was like that too during my worst years of high school.
Instead i didnt be put on drugs, i took psychedelics and it showed me just how stupid some of the people around me are. I realize there are a small percent of people that seem to have seriously messed up serotonin glands and antidepressents are the only way they can lead normal lives, but are you sure thats you?

Maybe you should ask yourself how you developed these symptoms, how your daily life is, how healthy you behave. It may be personal but i think itd be better to delve into these real issues, rather than taking a pill every day for the rest of your life.

 

Just whatever you do, dont use Alcohol as an anti-depressent...it makes you feel twice as bad & you end up doing somthing fucking stupid...

 

That is complete bullshit. Just got to say it.

Anti-depressants DO work... for people for are actually experiencing major depression. There is a huge difference between someone suffering of a major depressive episode and someone with ADD or ADHD. Apples and oranges.

I totally agree that pharmaceutical companies are corrupt and there are countless misdiagnoses and over-diagnosis but many people who have major depression have a chemical imbalance and the only fix is meds. A "quick fix" is sometime NEEDED initially to prevent to individual from taking their own life. A mixture of medication and therapy is the best option for someone with depression, taking care of chemical imbalance and issues in life.

It is ignorant to say that meds are worthless and just for money because for many Americans meds are NEEDED. They ARE abused, by both individuals and doctors prescribing, but that does not mean they are not beneficial to people who are really suffering from chemical imbalances.

As for the OP, you're friend needs to talk to a doctor. Anti-depressants for people under 18 have been known to create. MORE depression and suicidal thoughts. If your friend is worse, he needs to speak with someone.

 

they give you a medicine for depression that causes depression and suicide. they give you an athsma medicine that increases the risk of dying from athsma(i shit you not!), a cholesterol drug that causes kidney failure. big pharma is not your friend, its your pusher. they give you one drug, which may help with one symptom, but causes an imbalance in another part of your body. then you need another drug to fix that problem, and guess whos there to sell it to you at a rediculously inflated price. sure people live longer now because of modern medicine, but we are sicker. we reap what we sow. we pollute the planet with poisons, carcinogens, and electromagnetic radiation(we forget that the brain is a highly sensitive bioelectric organ that can be affected by magnetic fields). much of our food has untested chemicals and is unfit for consumption. these are the reasons our bodies are so out of balance.

 

Antidepressants killed Phil Hartman... His girlfriend was on Zoloft and she shot him, then herself. Coroner's report found cocaine and a barbiturates in her system along with the Zoloft, but according to reports from her friend next door, she only took the coke and barbs after the murder, and was only on Zoloft prior to that.
On a more personal note, I went into the doc's office complaining of backpain, migraines and some other junk and he told me I was depressed and put me on Zoloft. The day I was bumped up to 100mg, I started to hallucinate. A week later I had a massive seizure and ended up with my back thrown out, a concussion, and a black eye. Tests showed I was NOT an epileptic, and since seizures are listed one of the rare side effects of Zoloft, we've always blamed that (though the drug company has denied it over and over).
These reasons, as well as all of the numerous other suicides/murders linked with antidepressants are reason enough for me to stay away and warn anyone I care about that they could mean death, even when taken as directed by a doctor.
