Depression and Medications

Tweet

This is in regards to them wanting to make a New Ruling to come with Antidepressant medications about that they can be dangerous for some people and cause them to become even more Depressed or suicidal and even consider killing themselves, or succeed in suicide. I feel this is one thing a Doctor really never considers and Mental Health Associations just continue to hand out the drugs thinking that is the answer, and if someone ends up killing themselves due to it, they say it was other issues and not the medications. I have taken Antidepressants in my lifetime, and where for many people they have done good, it seems like I kept on having to change the ones I was on due to either none of them really working for me, or allergic reactions, etc. I know many of them may have even made me feel worse to the point I knew there was no hope for me. I was Lucky enough thru Faith and the Power of Prayer to where I have not had to take any Antidepressants for over 8 1/2 yrs. now. But I am a Survivor of Abuse, and suffer from PTSD. and I know for me as for I am sure many others out there in the World, Anti Depressants are not always the answer, and can kill you if you are not constantly monitored and aware of what is going on around you. Most of those Drugs are like a narcotic, and numb you to where you may not feel like you should, and can be Dangerous to a lot of people. I became totally psychotic on Prozac and almost killed myself. Luckily I reached out for help, and even though I was Hospitalized for about a month back in 1992, I feel it was the best thing for me that saved my life. No, I am not saying all Antidepressants never help anyone, as there are probably some here who feel better and can function more on them than where they could before taking them, but what I am saying, is Antidepressants can be dangerous, and they need to make this more known. I am Glad they are considering finally making sure the word is actually going to get out.
