Medicated for Depression

yeah i have taken meds for depression and although they did help in some ways i needed to get off them. they are soo addictive and it was soo hard to come off, but i did it. i think thay can help many ppl though, they just werent for me. Tanika.

I have been taking citalopram for about four years now. At first it dried out my mouth, but I soon got used to that and I haven't had any other side effects from it. I'm on quite a low dosage (20mg) but it's enough to keep me from sliding back down into the pit again. So it's good.

No! I have never medicated till now... Because I haven't learnt anything about it as my schedule doesn't allow me! May be I could try out in the future..

I have been on Zoloft for 2 years now. I suffer from Depression, Anxiety, and OCD. I was a horrible, mean person before taking Zoloft. It has saved me, my family, my marriage, and many other aspects of my life. I think that many people are scared to ask for help, because they might be sterotyped as a nut. I don't really care what anyone else thinks. I love my husband and son and with some help myself. I only want what is best for all of us. If that means taking a medication then so be it.

Depression is a natural phenomenon, we all do get depressed at some point of our life. Its only if it becomes unmanageable we need medication. I was lucky,mine was manageable without medication, I used to go to the nearby park and do deep breathing exercises till it gradually passed away.

I've taken Zoloft and Wellbutrin. It seems that depression is one of several widespread problems in the United States.

I am on three different medicines and One sleeping pill, for depression, PTSD, OCD, Anxiety, and insomnia.

I was on depression medication for a couple years starting in 2002 but have not been on them for over a year now. I was taking one for depression, one for anxiety and one for sleeping. It definitely helped me bounce back.

Yes, I have been on medication for two years for depression.

Yes, this time last year I went to seek help for depression. They put me on Zoloft. It helps. I never did like having to take meds, but I have to say, I can tell the difference when I dont take the Zoloft. Depression is not a fun thing to have, especially during holidays like now.

Yes, I have been on medication for a few years now. I sometimes try to go off of it. I did for one year but then I had to get back on it.
