Are you on an anti depressant medication?

[seXieleXie]

I want to hear about people's experiences with different meds, especially side effects.

 

[Angel]

I said no, and I want to have sex with lex.



I used to though, along with a healthy dose of Lithium.

I was crazier on meds than I am off.

 

[Cerberus666]

I voted for sex. I think thats going to be a popular answer.

 

[seXieleXie]

are you bi polar?

 

[Angel]

As for side effects, one of my favorites was how no matter what combonation I took, I was more bipolar than when I stopped taking them.

Wellbutrin : headaches. Massive, terrible headaches. Horrible loss of apetite - at my lightest I weighed about 95lbs and I looked disgustingly emaciated.


Prozac: Insomnia. Well, Im already an insomniac, but this made it a regular thing. I also slept way more than normal or healthy, and I couldn't work on it because of the sleepiness and it made me jittery and weird.

Paxil gave me migraines and I felt like I wanted to kill everyone who looked at me

Effexor made me lose my short term memory. Badly. I stopped taking that really quickly.


Since I stopped taking them, smoking whenever I felt depressed or manic made me feel better. Now that I'm not smoking, I'm getting bipolar symptoms again so I'm learning to cope.

If I have to, I'll smoke again before I go back on any medications.

(I had to look in my old depression journal for this stuff )

are you bi polar?

Yes ma'am.

 

[seXieleXie]

wow. thank you angel!

 

[Angel]

wow. thank you angel!

No problem. Now you know why I'm being all weird over cigarettes. I'm a little clingy, they were a lifesaver heh.

 

[Guest]

I vote for No and I wanna have sex

 

[charmed1]

I take Lithium and Effexor for Bi-Polar Disorder. Works well for me.

have you done the talk therapy thing? it's not great for the mania, but usually it helps the depression.

did you like anything about any of the medications?

 

[nasty1]

I said yes, but, can I have sex with you, also?

I did therapy for a few years actually, and then my shrink got married and moved to Florida. I stuck with the group thing a few more months and then I kicked the meds and stopped going.

I've been fine for the most part until the past 6 months or so what with the move and the quitting smoking. If I get all crazy I'll do something but for now I just make my boyfriend deal with my outbursts . He's got a nice dose of depression himself so he understands a little - he just doesn't understand the other side of it.

For awhile, the meds I was on worked and then the side effects outweighed the benefits to the point I had to stop. It was pretty shitty when I could barely get out of bed in the morning and stopped working for 4 months. (Not to mention the mono and walking pneumonia at the same time, lucky me )

Out of each one, the wellbutrin was the best, at first I replaced one of my anti's with Zyban to quit smoking. I ended up not quitting and switching to Wellbutrin (which is the same thing as zyban but covered by insurance ) I stuck to it longer than anything.

Lithium is a fucking bitch in the beginning though.

I had about 10 days of diarreah when I started Celexa.
I slept more, then I started gaining weight, which may have been inactivity in part.

The next symptom was a progressive loss of libido, which can get kinda depressing & defeat the whole purpose, you know?


Wellbutrin was more like what Viagra is purported to be, in that I couldn't orgasm in under an hour. The other side effect was some serious short term memory problems.

 

[Debbie]

No, I don't take any medication.

Ruby started an interesting thread.

I voted no, cause I'm not anymore, but I took zoloft for a bit (100mgs a day). It made me less depressed, but less motivated, as well.

I was perfectly content lying in bed all day with a book, or a movie. I didn't get up unless I had to.

I also lost my ability to orgasm, or when I was able to, it took upwards of an hour of direct stimulation to have it happen.

If I go back on anti-dep's, it sure as hell won't be zoloft.

 

[Angel]

My brother just got a scrip for Zoloft. Either our parents fucked us up or it runs in families



(I love those frigging Zoloft commercials - my boyfriend found me a card that said how I made him feel good etc - with a little picture resembling the Zoloft guy on it )

 

[freakygirl]

Mom is on Welbutrin.

After reading this.. I'm wondering if they are doing more harm than good.

yeah, i love the zoloft commercials. i got a sample of it and the little dude is in the pamphlet that describes what the medication is for. there's a picture of him looking sad (depression), worried (anxiety), and TOTALLY FREAKED OUT (post traumatic stress disorder).

it's funny as hell.

I am so calling my mother and asking if they got one of those. If so, I'm making her send it to me My mission is to collect little Zoloft guys, and guys that resemble it.

I swear to god I'm keeping that freaking card forever LOL.

i dunno freaky, i think it's really easy to trash talk these medications. the fact is, they make life more livable for a lot of people. when someone is really suffering from depression i think the side effects are a small price to pay for some relief.

i'll send you mine if you want

It depends. I tried the few on my list - and there were still more to try but I refused. Maybe if I had kept trying I would have found something that fit.

Most people I know of try a bunch until they hit the right medication/dose and it can take awhile for some people. Also, most people I know also end up doing fine once they hit their ideal medication.

I'm either a freak or I just didn't give it enough time. I'm impatient though.

Really?! I'll love you forever.

And send you something Californian and warm.

(please keep your snow)
