Should I take anti-depressants?

I took them once and they just made me more depressed. It might be worth a try, though.

Being depressed is a mental and personal issue, a good idea to at least try out is meditating on the value of life, and only think about the beauty it can bring you if you assert yourself and take advantage of it.

Try studying a new religion and see if it inspires you. Try martial arts, it helps me figure out what I want.

I don’t agree with drugs since all people can use their own will power to obtain their own happiness. Another thing you can do is study new cultures, things that are interesting always work pretty good.

Good luck.

I had the same question. life throws hard balls sometimes.. and you need help. I was scared to go on medication thinking it would make it worse. I was on lexapro for about four - five months. I recently switched to paxil; it has helped with mood swings, anxiety, and sleeping. eating healthy and excercising can deffinatly help. if you do decide to get on any anti depressants, make sure to keep your visits to your doctor regular. hope this helped.

Personally I don’t approve of drugs at all and I dislike zolfot if I were to recommend a anti-depressent I would probably go with prozac. I don’t think anti depressiants are the way to go why not try alternative methods like meditating or tanning. I think it is a personal choice and when it comes down to it you have to decide whats really going to be best for you. Anyways good luck

that medication can just make things worse its best to just psychologically sort things out weed serves as an anti-depressant so if medical marijuana is legal in your state you should check it out and talk to your parents about it or something

lol dont listen to what people tell u, its all misleading information you need to do your own research and see for urself

These are some of the comments I have copied from a forum

-pharmaceuticals are known to kill more people than illegal drugs

-marijuana is the number 1 cash crop in the world it serves as a natural medicine and has many other uses thats why they prohibited it so big companies can make more profit thanks to “bad journalism”

-can also help aids patients, aids diminishes appetite have them smoke a joint and they regain their appetite counteracting the illness

-no one can die from smoking cannabis and has been no known deaths compared to everything else including alcohol, tobacco, etc..

I myself have asthma and smoking opens up my airways making it easier to breathe with no side effects when medically legalized in my state I look foward to becoming a patient for prescription marijuana. 12 states have already legalized it along with other countries in the world and more following my job is to educate people that are not aware of the plants uses

re-legalize!

-I did most of my research through websites, books, magazines, and the news norml.org high times magazine etc..

• theres more to it than just getting high and I believe legalizing it would make this a better world to live in

-God bless the whole crop!

• and for people that dont smoke, you dont need to smoke it to support it

-all the better reason for the government to legalize.. couple reasons why it should be legalized: -will be removed from black market and stop empowering gang members -medical reasons -would be sold like alcohol, remember alcohol was once prohibited too (in stores away from children, have to be 21+) -would be a law that you cant drive while intoxicated on weed -prison population would lower (prisons are overcrowding with nonviolent offenders) -keep patients from being convicted -would provide millions of jobs for people -would make us an independent country (fuel, etc.., debt free america)

people with an addiction (including hard drugs) shouldnt be thrown in jail, they need help theres more people in jail with mental illnesses than there are in mental institutions

the list goes on

• the War on Drugs is a failure, its a war on its own people. policies need to be changed we pay billions in taxpayers money to keep the war going and neither side is winning thats just a waste of our tax money I wonder what they do with all that money.. those greedy bastards just sell drugs back onto the street, you can even check urself on that there was a time when there was a cia operation transporting drugs overseas into america the government also provided Rick Ross with plenty of heroin to go around, course making money from it

the truth must be exposed, theyre dirty work must stop!

-Of course we can do something about it, we all just need to unite screw the federal government remember slavery? if no one stood up im pretty sure it would still be going on people were tortured, beaten, killed and thrown in jail but that didnt stop them standing up for their rights eventually slavery was abolished same with alcohol prohibition eventually became re-legalized

• its like theres some kind of conspiracy going on I sense the government is up to no good and trying to control us. credit cards, money, and now they have chips that can be implanted in skin for uselful reasons but if in the wrong hands well were pretty much fuct they hiding the truth from us its dangerous to be right when the government is wrong they got theyre privacy but we dont. they want to know everything were doing on our leisure time

get up stand up!

• marijuanas not anti-establishment because its illegal, its illegal because its anti-establishment
