Mind Games: Prozac, Depression, and the Mind

[balkiprasanna1984]

I would prefer weed any day for its potential treatment ranging from depression to even cancer. It is a natural herb which mother nature had given us to us. Yet we prefer synthetic medicines which are toxic and harmful... Just abandon all the anti-depressants. P.S My big bro was treated for schizo for antidepressants ... His life is ruined now.. I am not anti-psychiatry.. But I am fed up with politics by big pharma.. Even for another 100 years we can never expect drugs for cancer, schizo ...

[inbetweentics]

any shrink that prescribes these antidepressants to anyone for any reason at all, truly doesn't care about their patients. if they truly did, they would help their patient overcome and deal with their emotional issues. life is hard, but taking mind numbing drugs that bury the emotions and not deal with them is even worse. then compound it with the risks of the side effects. so many are on this dangerous "happy" drug and they're all a bunch of zombies.

[leelulove24]

i was giving Prozac and i couldnt sleep felt more depressed i felt like i didnt belong here.

[Hatchetman6971]

Wait until you've taken Prozac, or especially Paxil and go through the withdrawals from it. I can't say really about Prozac but Paxil is wicked. Now this medicine will make you think suicide.

[1642poltergeist]

it´s not the drug it´s the lack of it that causes suicide and the awereness of the person that needs the pill to be.

[nezahualcoyotl2012]

anyone know anyone taking prozac while being in jail? does that fuck u up more?

[grasshapa007]

how can they make a claim about people killing themselves who wouldn't have done so without prozac?

[DaanVT86]

Pff this video`s only purpose is to scare people... News flash: people who are depressed are already prone to suicide. So if a person commits suicide after taking prozac for depression, it would make most sense that the depression caused the suicide, not the prozac.

I`m taking prozac for 5 weeks now, had no averse effect from them and in my experience they are as safe as candy.

[josepheath]

@DaanVT86 Prozac is one of the slowest acting SSRI's and can take up to six weeks to have any effect. Read the information that comes with your medicine and give it a year before you start comparing drugs to sweets. I have been taking it for only three days and I feel like hell. My stomach hurts, I am drowsy as fuck and feel brain dead. I am not going to call it poison because of this, I will give it time and hope things get better, as my doctor told me to. Doctors are quite smart.

[hitlerscow]

@josepheath "Doctors are quite smart" Yes, and they're also quite bribed.

Mark my words, you will obsess over your own "impending doom." You will see yourself in your mind, daily, hourly, destroying your own life. When you recognize that the thoughts are literally not yours, you may re-think your smart-ass doctor's opinion.

[josepheath]

@hitlerscow Look, mother fucker! Don't tell me how I will feel or what I am going to do. I was doing a number of those things before I started taking it anyway so I don't see what harm it can do. I feel a little better already, purely from the fact I am being pro-active, at least I feel like I am doing something about it.

Your advice is basically to listen to a tosser on YouTube than a doctor I have met in person. I don't think your advice is very good. I will stick with the doctor, thanks.

[hitlerscow]

@josepheath Ok bud, you may be feeling better already because you're being proactive. Maybe thats your problem in the first place. Taking a drug wont do anything for you. Maybe you should research your drugs before you take them. Most are only tested for 6-8 months with little to no difference in placebo. I'm telling you how you will feel bc i have experience with them...I'm not trying to scare you out of taking drugs that have little to no efficacy; though, you should be. *in creepy yoda voice*

[MsPokemonMistress]

@hitlerscow rofl nice troll name

[randomdave30]

I took prozac for 2.5 years over the last quarter of my teens and didn't feel any better or worse

[looker768]

I think the problem wasn't prozac. These people they described with violent tendencies, suicidal thoughts, and low self-esteem should have been assessed for their threat to the community and confined to a psychiatric hospital. They would not have gotten better on prozac. They would have needed antipsychotics such as Hadol and a sedative such as Lorazepam. The way they treated those mentally ill people with prozac was wrong becuase it was not for them and they needed to be closely monitored.

[KillHannah7]

I'm 16 with severe depression and agrophobia. I'm on 30mg's and take two a day, they have actually really really helped me with depression and anxiety. I really feel they have helped me and don't think anyone should be scared. I'd be dead without them.

[Defendor1983]

Prozac almost made me take a long walk on a short pier

[melpa04]

I was on citalopram which is antidepressant from ages 17-19 and it was for anxiety and panic disorder and it did help me out a lot i have to admit. It also made me a happier person but I think as you said up it's a fake type of happiness but because deep i dont feel as good as i make out. Also is it true antidepressants stunt the growth?

[derangedpranks]

Oh man... well now I'm hella scared to do what my doctor told me to do.

I just was prescribed to prozac, should I take it or just deal with the depression and anxiety? I don't want to take something that's going to do the OPPOSITE of what it's supposed to.

[alinecalves]

please help. i ve been prescribed fluoxetine today for generalized anxiety disorder and moderate depression, but reading the side effects it can CAUSE ANXIETY??!! WTh?? if this gets any worse im really screwed!also if it treats depression how can it worsen its simptoms like anger and suicidal thoughts? im scared of it but need to start tomorow. IMPORTANT i work with children, small babies. is it safe to still be in sole charge of them? it petrifies me i can do smt dangerous or agressive!

[thenewtuber]

It's worth reading Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers by Robert Sapolsky or at least watching his lectures on YouTube before paying too much attention to this. There are clear statistical reasons why treatment of depression results in increased suicide / dangerous behaviour rates. Simply, getting better makes you more capable of doing things, so for a while that can be dangerous. Prozac is an option. Read the whole thing before just trusting this video. Trust a good doctor.

[Ex101]

do NOT take any of the DRUGS

that the pill pushers & Disciples of Sigmund FRAUD are peddling!

Instead learn to meditate and also nourish your body properly, stay away from junk "food" and crap like soda-pop ....

Smile Mother Nature Loves U!

[causticklief]

when i was on paxil, i fantasized about driving my vehicle, into a concrete wall...but just before that shooting myself in the head... while tying my neck to the back bumper... and dousing my vehicle in gasoline.... cause i wanted to make absolutely sure, i would die... but i couldn't find a gun... so i didnt go that route... i had nearly killed myself through a razor, as well as a 90+ mph wreck... no seatbelt... for some odd reason i am here...

[Nouri8885]

I believe everyones brain is wired differently, just like with street drugs people react differently, prescription drugs will effect people differently too. Also the doctors don't alsways prescribe the right meds, some people are dipressed and withdrawn, some people are depressed and manic and angry and agressive, It might be that prozac can change some peoples mind set from quiet to manic, because the oposit of depressed isnt always happy, it can be agressive

[TheCrystalBudz]

I take 40 mgs of Prozac a day and I'm depression free.

[CasioLoso]

you will always have the rare negitive points emphasised over the positives.

[joeguy02]

Seems like the average American adult takes more prescription medications than the average child eats skittles and gummy bears in a day.

[lucelite]

Depression is a disturbance of the Soul(Spiritual). The real cure would be to look for GOD. No medication can cure your Soul. The drugs will only destroy your life(Freemasons) are behind this, They are worsipers of Evil and therfore want the downfall of the people by playing with their minds. Look for God.

[puresickmermaid]

@lucelite Well you are ignorant, are you a Scientologist? Ever hear "Preach the Gospel, use words when necessary." Depression is a REAL mental illness, even with doctors who push unnecessary drugs. But saying the person is without God is rude and ignorant. If you are Christian, I am ashamed! I like your Jesus, but I hate His followers...

[epic309]

@lucelite hehhahahahhah!!!!..ur funny...

[superfishle]

My doctor has informed me that a significant amount of the serotonin in ur body is produced not in the brain, but in ur bowels area. Before you try SSRIs, I STRONGLY urge you to try a healthy diet, regular exercise and structured activity. I kno when ur depressed all these things are hard. But they work. One step at a time. Make urself a nice cup of something u like (u deserve it!) and have a little think about it. Real food, real friends and fresh air never let anyone down! Peace people :-)

[naja46]

I took Prozac for 6 DAYS when I had severe post natal illness , in that short space of time I thought I was going mad , my thoughts were all jumbled up , I was pacing around the room , completely agitated & I was so scared because I thought I was losing my mind . My husband had to call a doctor who came out & immediately gave me tranquilisers to calm me down . It took about 18 MONTHS before I felt normal again & that was after taking this drug for a few days . IT WAS A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE

[trancer5146]

HEY IM BEARLY TKIN PROZAC!!!! IT KINDA WORKS I DONT FEEL THAT BADDD OR DEPRESSSED!!!! ND SUMTIMES GOOOD!!! DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF ITS BADD???

[kstarBAM]

they've given me prozac for a week, to see if I've "improved" w.e the fuck that means.. I told the doctor I have no desire to kill myself.. I jus want to go home. Home with my mom, I live with my gma on the opposite side of the country. I told the DR "I have dreams about where I use to live.. nd wake up like.. fuck? I'm still here haha" "soo... you're depressed.." "... ?... If that's what you want to call it.. but I call it pissed off". Since I've taken it, I don't really eat. n Im quiet as fuck

[distubezero]

yes you are exactly correct prozac is a drug that increases serotonin in the brain in the synapses thus robbing all your emotions away just like extacy

[distubezero]

prozac sucks ass it dont do shit for you except make you feel high and mask your emotions and thus making depression worse because its poisoning the brain serotonin system

[TWIGGIE2T1]

Ive just started on 20mg's today, Now im fucking shit scared!!!!!!

Fuck Youtube

[Ganon053]

I started the same last week... hope things are alright : /

[smokasomeweed]

@TWIGGIE2T1 its good your scared man why would you think taking a pill everyday would be COMPLETLY good?? its gotta have some compromise if its a pill. its really toxic and all those by products of side affects will build up everyday and i think its mainly the side affects are what messes people up

[unholyimage]

@TWIGGIE2T1 Don't worry. What they don't mention here is how these drugs got approved: namely, they improve the condition of a vast majority of people. Having said that, pay close attention to how it effects you personally (like any other prescription drug) and take action when you don't like what's happening.

[Silenus6]

The body doesn't need harsh synthetic "medications". It needs infusions of vitamins and minerals, and not to be flooded with toxins. The greatest medical invention of the 20th century is the JUICER. As you put less poisonous food into your body (processed and genetically modified food, refined carbohydrates, high-fructose corn syrup, pesticide-ridden, and, yes, cooked foods), and more raw foods and vegetable juices, especially dark leafy greens, you'll be amazed at your uncovered potential.

[MsPokemonMistress]

@Silenus6 lmfao

[Tilleyass]

@Silenus6 AMEN to the juicers!! I use mine daily! for breakfast and snacks. and lots of water and a good diet and exercise. Phooie to those psych drugs

[AutotuneGuy]

@MrIrishlogic hey im glad that it helped you out, 3 weeks on the drug and i am having no relief :/

[AutotuneGuy]

well all this stuff is good to know now that im starting prozac lol. I would have asked for something else if i would have known more about ssris.

[naturaldietbest]

nice vid :) really like it

[gunplow]

try ultram for deppression its a pain pill but its non narcartic it makes some people feel happy

[xosnakes]

This drug gave me grand mahl seizures. It has hurt my life greatly! My family suffers so much from my one year on this drug.

[coffeecup1]

When I first started taking prozac after 2 weeks I was really irritable and aggresive and every now and again out of nowhere I became fixated on suicide, it would just pop into my head. I have thought about suicide before but never like that.

[cmmnsense]

I'm beginning week 2. How were the first week or 2 for you?

[LifeIsLife1984]

SSRI'S Are a Fraud .

[shimanah]

I was put on Prozac when I was 17 but stopped taking it after only 2 weeks as I was getting a horrible feeling at the back of my head like it was in a vice!! put me off taking any kind of anti depressent. The doctor found it all to easy to put me on prozac when really I think at the time I just needed someone to talk to

[babybubsmate]

Prozac is a bag of balls, been on them for a long time- sure didn't feel suicidal anymore, but they've messed me up massively, i'm changing pills- good luck everyone else.

[caviper1]

Medication with Prozac saved my life. I do not know what my future will be, but I do know I wouldn´t be here writing this if I hadn´t started medicating. One note: I feel like shit, ie like before medicating, if I stop taking prozac. Thus: I guess I will be taking it all my life, like I often take Alka Seltzer too..., and I have no problem with that. I hope this note helps. Good luck to you.

[LLCoolPass]

listen, genius, that's a big NO DUh. stop taking it. but if you reduce it and reduce over about 2 years, you can wean yourself off the psychiatrical, new world order, big pharma tit -- the drugs you're on -- and you won't feel like shit.

good luck on it

[gretaloveparadee]

i don't know but i have to take some psychopharmaceuticals and i'm so sad for the side effects i don't know what to do i don't want to be fat, ugly

[kariberry808]

I'm 16 and just started taking prozac 3 weeks ago... I feel worse than ever

I've been waking up crying from really weird dreams, too

I'm scared. I think I need to get off of this NOW.

someone help :(((

[bando8000]

Now is the time to take full responsibility for your life.

Do Not wait for 'someone' to help. Do what you think you need to do. You can do it -- only you can!

: )

[valereydyachuk]

Why are you taking prozac at 16? Have you tried something less potent like lexapro?

[McDoubleMonkey]

I have been on Prozac for 6 years for PMDD. I decided to stop it earlier this year, as I was sick of feeling numbed to life.

The drug stopped the level of anxiety and over-analysis that were part of my symptoms, but they also stopped my ability to analyse to a high level in my work as a scientist. I still had highs and lows while on it, but the highs were too manic also. I'm glad to be off it, although I don't quite feel back to normal yet.

[bando8000]

I too was told that I 'over, analyze.' But these are discouraging words.

Our brains and minds are given to us to use and to think! And we have plenty of thinking to do! ... that is, unless you're on drugs.

[PurpleSoprano]

Winners don't use pharmacies. If you're depressed why not buy a sealed rubber gimp suit and gas mask, that is fun even when feeling depressed.

[killyrboyfriend]

you should be a doctor.

[500chris]

they wanna kill us its part of the plan .with drugs in the water in our food ,they look upon us as rats

[bando8000]

... but you are ultimately responsible for what you do.

Amen to that.

: )

[MySearchForTheTruth]

Does anyone know the maximum amount of time one should be on prozac? Or is it save to be on it for an unlimited amount of time?

Also for people who are taking prozac (are reading this) and want to share there "facts" on prozac and how it affected them please message me and let me know.

Thank you.

[amfrepalex]

howdy. i was on prozac for 5 years. then a little bird told me to quit it. i did. not only was the depression gone, but after half a year i was chirpier than ever! i urg you to contemplate doing so also. my brain has stopped being numb and i am once again alive.. i wish you happiness and peace.

[dubbymacky]

maybe it was the prozac that brought u to that level

[prooc]

For me I took it when I was thirteen and was one of the worst things I ever did. It actually made me more depressed and screwed me up so bad that I actually started having suicidal thoughts out of freaking no where. Don't ever do this drug.

[noobkiller837]

i almost committed suicide and it was so fucked up and i was on the pill on started getting like and anger problem and went to the police and they almost locked me up

[cmmnsense]

Around when did these symptoms start occuring? Like what week, month, year? I'm on week 2 but mostly feel zombie like. Numb and tired and all I want to do is watch movies all day. lol

[Cashcow55]

@cmmnsense HAHA RIGHT ON!

[bando8000]

answer: until death do you part. Or, until the doctors writing your prescriptions find a more profitable means to ensure your lifelong patronage.

Get it?

[dessiesdoneit]

@bando8000 But what about in the UK, we dont pay for our medicine and we get prescribed this stuff so i dont think our doctors gain from it.

[running877]

Outside studies do not support the idea that prozac prevents suicide. In fact they indicate prozac and other 'antidepressants' increase the chance of suicide.

A lot of hype about 'untreated depression' has scared people into thinking they had better push these drugs despite their risks,side effects,lack of efficacy and withdrawal symptoms.

[running877]

I still believe prozac, paxil and similar drugs are a scam and become an excuse not to communicate with a troubled person or take the actual time to assist them with their life.

Giving drugs is all psychiatrists really do. They may pay some lip service to other things but it's really only about the drugs. Even those on the periphery are there to convince the person that the drugs are what its all about.

[TheBadBandana]

I lost a brilliant and sensitive friend to depression, possible borderline disorder, damage from many suicide attempts and chronic alcoholism

This medicine might have saved her. We were at school together. I did not learn about Prozac until after she was dead. When I look at the specific symptoms and traits it improves, making a sensitive person more resilient without making her numb, I think the medicine that sometimes enhances my life might have saved my friend's.

[verona2003]

I was lucky enough to have a very good therapist and was treated for a long time WITHOUT medication. It was only after careful consideration by myself and my physician and therapist was it determined that Prozac may be a good fit for me. I wasn't given a pill right off when I sought help. I have been using Prozac for several years and it has been a blessing for me so I do believe that it can be positive for some people. But it IS WAY OVERPRESCRIBED.

[TheBadBandana]

In the states, where you can buy cigarettes in most stores, and liquor is more available than pseudo ephedrine, it's a little silly to say a medicine is over prescribed.

But I am certainly with you that therapy is essential to cure for depression. Prozac is just a nice little tool in the kit.

[running877]

It could also be that the world has become such a vicious place that it's not in people to help anyone unless theres an official medical reason.

Why does a persons problems have to be medical to help them. People can have severe emotional problems without it being medical.

People do need outside help but these drugs are harmful for many people and deny them any other efforts.

[TheBadBandana]

No one was able to help me deal with the fallout of being "gifted" in an anti-intellectual, doggedly egalitarian country, until I got my brain chemicals knocked around so I could assert myself in therapy instead of whining.

The families and friends of depressed people do love them very much. Depression is contagious. Sometimes the loved ones feel they have to close off to save their own lives. I've been on both sides. Love and compassion are not enough.

[TheBadBandana]

The cause of depression is often enough interpersonal, some trauma, some injury to attachment relationship. But the disease itself is physical. The cure must be physical--not only medicine, but attention to sleep, diet, "hygiene", meditation, thinking habits.

It's risky and difficult to heal in negative human environments, and depression can make it difficult for people to get free. Free depression recovery resorts would be cool, but our societies are far from that degree of enlightenment.

[running877]

Not only are these pills harmful but they have become an excuse never to help anyone.

If one goes for any sort of help with their life they will be labeled depressed and the only "help" they will receive are these drugs.

There will be no real communication,encouragement, career help,education,good advice or any real effort to see the person make it.

[shapeshifterX]

I was told i would have to take it for the rest of my life ,only after i had been on it for awhile,a many others before,is this a scam or what? Because I wanted off Paxil and now am on someother antideppresant,and having the shocks which are very painful,and I was never told about this by my doctor ,have had them many times before,when changing meds I pray this is not peremant because it makes living with fibromyalgia and T.M.J and myoclonic seizures neck pain,so much worse why do this ??? money

[cmmnsense]

Have you tried consulting with an upper cervical chiropractor for those physical symptoms? Initially, my symptoms mimicked TMJ and then it traveled down my whole body and now I feel depressed, fatigued 24/7. I got an xray and my c1-c2 is shifted and its traveled to my lumbar region. PLUS I'm on week 2 of Prozac.

[chaostheory4life]

don't take that shit man it's bad

[KingHodor]

Prozac?

A stimulant? Give me a break.

It's an utterly ineffective placebo, not even worth the lactose it is delivered in.

Of all the SSRIs, SNRIs and NRIs I took, none had any appreciable effect on my mood or energy.

The one thing that did help was a true stimulant - Ritalin, which is often impossible to get in sufficient doses for adults.

Unfortunately, modern psychiatry still largely ignores the role of dopamine deficiency in anxiety and depression.

[McDoubleMonkey]

Anxiety and depression can be caused by lack of quite a few neurotransmitters, but the main ones are serotonin, noradrenaline and as you say, dopamine. Dopamine is one off the most important. It is released in response to pleasure, and is what can cause food and drug cravings e.g. cigarettes. Ritalin is in the same family of drugs as speed and extacy and also the anti-depressant I take for my PMT which is called Viepax (or Venlafaxine hydrochloride) perhaps this may work for you?

[Metania01]

A relative of mine tried to kill herself twice while on prozac, once was the first time she took them after stopping them for a while. We rushed her to the hospital, we didn't know at the time that this was because of the pills.

[Dan14159]

I was forced to take prozac when I was 10. It made me feel very happy. Completely opposite to depressed. A few weeks later, they removed it from my happyness. Would it be correct to say prozac can make some people feel very happy?

[prokopton]

Artificially happy.

[Dan14159]

What do you mean?

[Wak3nBak3]

@Dan14159 all 10 year olds are happy dumb fuck. Prozac isn't for children

[Robikus]

@Dan14159 Seems to me, as is true for a lot of drugs, they effect different people differently. Just as people are different shapes, sizes and colors, our brains are all different too. So buyer beware.

[aktiwers2]

im starting on prozac on wednesday and i am pretty excited to see how it works.

just felt like sharing lol.

[rudenoodle]

Deppresion is just jesus's way of saying you suck.

[shortysworld]

That sounds like BS... the thing about Jesus saying anything so stupid or being real for that matter! Depression is your own way of telling yourself you suck (or at least your life) that's why you're depressed! DUH!

[smellyoulater123]

btw jesus is fake just like ur penis

[ohsolovelytoo]

ive been on paxil for 3 years and in the last 3 months i got off it. it was the worst experience of my life getting off this drug, it made me crazy and almost lose alot of people in my life with my behavior. yeah it helped at first but the experience getting off it was not worth it at alll

[xxpinkfunxx]

I second that paxil was a horrible experience, what a gross drug.

[4Isak]

Today is my 4'th day as I am taking Prozac. And since the day two, I felt very happy. Before, I used to be very sad, depressed and cried sometimes, was scared to socialise. So far, things have changed considerably.

However, I still want to know any side-effects due to taking these drugs.

P.s.: does Prozac help curing eating disorders?

[fun69stein]

depression is a brain tortured by excessive masturbation.

Unloved children seek warmth and love in own endorphines and become depressed adults.

That'a the whole truth.

It's very hard to get rid of that addiction and it's very hard to recover from depression.

since medical business says that masturbation is ok depression is becoming a social disaster.

[rudenoodle]

Thats very interesting i never thought of that

[kontial]

how did u come to this conclusion?

Can you send me more explonation in my inbox pls?

[nomad05]

depression isnt funny so stop joking around with a dumb explanation like that.

[McDoubleMonkey]

Sex, or at least orgasm can cause peaks and troughs in one's Dopamine levels which can in turn cause mood-swings and episodic depression, so technically you are correct.

[beyond8]

i have been on it for 12 years and i feel great

[prokopton]

Keep taking them until the side effects kill you. Your body is a toxic dump by now.

[smokasomeweed]

@beyond8 yeah you only think you feel great but when you have a spiritual experience or somethin that allows you to use more primative areas of the barina,and you will, you'll see that you took it only because an authority figure said it was ok and will make you feel better but thats just some old fashioned brainwashing thats what that is

[beyond8]

prozac saved my life and made me wealthy

[everitstreet]

You're kidding, right?

[blackeconomics]

We love S.R.R.I.s their are no suicides as a result of taking these drugs.

[sbrainb]

A lot of lives have been saved by anti-depressants, so I wouldn't be too quick to categorically judge these kinds of medications as they have helped a great deal of people.

[Naturebound]

Also, new studies on the SSRIs, especially Prozac, show that they cause significant bone loss. Just google "Two studies link SSRIs to substantial bone loss: patients taking the antidepressants had bone loss comparable to that associated with glucocorticoid tx" for more information.

If you plan to take SSRIs long term, plan on having a dexa scan yearly to check for osteoporosis.

[emptyzzzzzz]

forget about bone loss, try the brain loss!

[emptyzzzzzz]

forget about bone loss, try the brain loss!

[Naturebound]

I was on Effexor for five years. Only when I tried to come off it did I begin to question what kinds of effects this drug has on your body. It took six months to wean off VERY SLOWLY. I still had brain zaps, vomiting, sweats, relentless shaking chills, diarrhea, seeing double, heightened emotions, the list goes on. I learned that Effexor has the same effects on the same neurotransmitters as methamphetamine, just not as severe or potent. Go to wiklepedia and compare the two.

[tarquin08]

I've been on 300mg of Effexor for 9 yr's.

I'm in the process of getting off it with help

but I've only gone down one step so far, another step this Fri. Any advice you can

give would be appreciated..

[Naturebound]

I sent you a pm concerning my full story. A quick note of things that helped: a multivitamin to support to my stressed body , sleep aids such as benedryl, bland diet and prescribed Compazine for the nausea. Lots of support from family, friends, coworkers. Recognizing that the flood of emotions was a symptom of withdrawal, NOT the depression getting worse. Some have luck substituting Prozac when tapering off Effexor to minimize withdrawal effects. Prozac has longer half life. Good luck!

[MarijuanaLeaves]

Zoloft made me try to kill myself. I took the whole bottle , tripped out for a week, and threw up all the time. I didn't tell anyone though. Thank God I lived! Weed seems to be working pretty well though. :)

[KenWheeler321]

you tried to kill yourself, zoloft didnt.

[emptyzzzzzz]

er, hello? fucking with your brain chemistry (eg zoloft) can make you suicidal when you wouldnt otherwise be... the side effects of the med can make you suicidal..

[KenWheeler321]

taking a whole bottle of anti-depressants is suicide...

[emptyzzzzzz]

um, i think the point is (he can correct me if im mistaken) that he had been prescribed zoloft, which he had taken then became suicidal on it and proceeded to take the whole bottle. hence the zoloft made him suicidal. he didnt one day just decide to order a bunch of zoloft and take it. anyway, taking a whole bottle of ssris isnt a good way for suicide, it will prbably just fuck you up 90% of the time...

[jessup5]

when I was 18 and on antidepressents I chased my sister with a butcher knife and nearly killed her. I spent 15 more years on that garbage and my life in now completely ruined.

[stubs13]

I know what you mean, I used to be normal before that shit was put in me. People who don't take it don't know what it does. It doesn't help, it changes your character, what you used to be gone. I hate it and will warn other people to stay away from it

[KOBELOU2]

Damn, thats scary!!! What were you taking, and how much?

A

[deptsd]

Depression is horrible but these drugs are fucking dangerous! They aren't a cure, people are just stoned. Research it and find out the truth about the side effects.
