Has anyone ever taken it and what was your experience on it? And for how long were you on it? Or if it was a family member do you remember their experience on it? Thanks a million PM family!
Anytime your thinking of coming by philly just say the word bro!
I was on it for a year or so. I didn't like it and eventually stopped taking it. It didn't help my depression at all... it did "even out" my emotions somewhat but I didn't like that feeling because it was like not feeling anything at all. And I had no energy or motivation to do anything. Did you ever see the episode of South Park where all the kids went on Ritalin and turned into super-calm, Phil Collins loving zombies? It was like that for me. I had people I know tell me I wasn't as "apocalyptic" when I was on it, but I don't think it was worth it.BOOMSHAKER said:I was given this script today @50mg's once a day.
Are you kidding? It's the first question everyone asks me! No it won't change you. All it's doing is allow the chemicals in your brain that make you feel good to linger there a little longer... that's all. And they are very specific selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. You'll be alright. You might feel anxious the first few days or maybe yawn a bit more, that's usually about it. Though, as your doctor should have told you, if you experience serious sides, call him immediately. But they're very rare. Especially at that dosage. Also, some guys say they can raise the sail but have trouble getting the boat into the dock at first. Also usually passes in time.BOOMSHAKER said:
Blitz, in your case you may not have been suffering from clinical depression at all but were simply depressed for legitimate reasons - unhappy with your life sort of thing. People want to take a pill as soon as they feel down in this day and age. Doctors are all to eager to prescribe them too. Sometimes it's necessary to mourn and grieve and be sad and all those things because of the events or an event in your life. In some of those cases, drugs may actually prolong the recovery period.Blitzkrieg said:
I completely agree with everything you said OTH... I wasn't trying to discourage in any way. Just answering the original question "Has anyone ever taken it and what was your experience on it? And for how long were you on it?". And it's exactly as you stated as to why it didn't help my depression. I should have clarified this in my original post. That's kind of what I was trying to get across without directly asking "why are you taking it?" Because if the depression is not caused by chemical imbalance drugs may not help. And like you said, doctors are all to eager to prescribe them. I went in, said I was depressed, told him why, and walked out with a prescription that did not help me. I don't want the same to happen to BOOM.OuchThatHurts said:
It's cool! No worries. I'm glad you posted your experience. Your experience is all too common today and I'm sorry you had to go through that shit. Your doctor should have talked more in depth with you before just whipping out the pen. It's sad man. I see it sooo much. How are you now? I hope much better! It wasn't anything you said or did. I'd like to say "What's up???" to your doctor actually. Again, hope all is going better for you now. It wasn't my intention to attack anything you said. You SHOULD be miffed!Blitzkrieg said:
