I've been on those things for years. welcome to the club. :) My only advice is: dont make a big deal out of it. Its just a pill. If you were taking an anti-biotic or a painkiller because of some physical ailment you wouldnt think anything of it. This is just the same.
Oh and also, it takes a while for the effects to kick in (Im talking weeks) so dont stop taking them if you think they're not working; just keep at it. (But dont make a big deal out of it either).
I hope your daily life improves :) If your looking for something that will keep you in a good mood... I would suggest flaxseed oil capsules and a multi-vitamin.... even though you already take them from what I have seen on your desk in your 51 things video... but yeah... just thought I would give my 2 cents :)
Also, if you notice the half-life of the medication, even the small dosage that I was on, 25mg of amitriptylene every other night, lasted for a few days afterwards after I stopped taking it. It is re-configuring your brain chemistry and that is why you cannot immediately stop taking them or you will become manic as I have experienced (I didn't know you couldn't just stop taking them) I THEN realized the potential power of what the even minimal dosage I was dealing with had
Anyway, the half-life as I was saying, can be in some cases up to 3 days from just 1 pill :). That means that the medication is STILL in your system and is still at half strength 3 days after taking the pill. I know it's not my business, but as a subscriber and a follower of your vids I just wanted to share the info. Just be aware of what you're doing, and dont' stay on them for more than a couple months. That's my 2 cents :) peace!
They will remove part of your personality is what I'm trying to say. When you decrease anxiety, inhibition, adrenaline, etc, you in effect remove desires, drive, motivation, etc.
Just by the way. Anti-depressants will probably not make you energetic, but instead, remove your adrenaline rushes, decrease your libido, make you forget stuff, make it hard to critically think, etc. And that's from being on the lower half of the dosage scale :) that's my experience :) they seem like they're a cool thing in the beginning but you realize how much they make you like a zombie after a little while. Be careful with them and good luck
Wish I was gay. I mean, y'know, counterculture and all that.

@FenderMike1428 Dude i feel like they might very well kill me if i take one more.
First time took them for 9dayz, then stopped. Now it only took 2 dayz to realize that it's no joke....ill to the point where it feels uncomfortable.

Richie, that doesn't help.
There's a difference between being a bit tired and down, and being depressed (as a medical condition.)
Mental illness has enough of a stigma without people being discouraged from facing it and dealing with it.
