My little bit of positive ..

for 13 år siden 0 +0 / -0 33

I just want to give hope to people, who like me tried everything else, that they can succeed with the help of ADs. I too used to say well.. what if it doesn't work for me. It took a lot of convincing from my pdoc & gp that they WILL work, even if I have to try a few. They said that very few people do not respond to ADs, if any. I myself, hope they were right, as it is sometimes a last resort, and a depressed person NEEDS to know that something WILL work. If that makes any sense? If someone can overcome depression without meds, AMEN!! That would be the ideal, and I'm sure it happens everyday. There is just something comforting, (there was for me anyway) in knowing that if all else fails, ADs will help. Something has to.

Hi FFirecracker,

I am glad that you have learned medication works for you. I also want to emphasis that medication might not be the right answer for everyone. Finding the right treatment for you is a part of the recovery process. I am gild you were able to find what works.

Members, what has worked for you?

Right now I'm going through a rough patch, as I'm weaning myself off anti-depressants. Took my last dose a bit over a month ago.

But for those who can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, and wonder if anti-depressants can make a difference, well I'm here to tell you that they do. Placebo effect? Bull ****.

In 2004 I was diagnosed with Major acute depression and massive anxiety. No way in a 100 years I thought a little pill could get me out of there. But they did. I only had to try 2, the first one took me to hell and back, and the 2nd one, lo and behold, got me to where I needed to be.

The proof is in the pudding, I quit a month ago, because I felt I was doing good enough that I didn't need meds anymore. I'm still trying to figure that one out lol.. but if I see that after a while my mood does not improve, then I'll have to give in and admit that I need them. Bottom line is, don't feel like there is no solution, there is. Might not be what we want, but it is nonetheless. I certainly wish someone could have emphasized this when I was first diagnosed, it would have been encouraging.
