If you are depressed do you take any medicine?

No I personally have not but an ex house mate was on xanax I saw him on and off it. Yep it helped him but if not takes correctly sends things a little hay wire. Best advice is to see medical advice research the medicine throu the web and check out forums dealing with this issue

I think if a person is depressed, it's better to take medication. I've not tried before but depression is really an illness and with the right medication, it's supposed to help. "Depression is not something you can just "snap out of." It's caused by an imbalance of brain chemicals, along with other factors. Like any serious medical condition, depression needs to be treated." This is a good website : www.depression.com

Thankfully, I don't take anything when I'm depress. I try to relax and get over it as fast as I can. Medication for depression isn't for me.

i will do rest only

i was on welburtin and zoloft for my depression, but i hated the side effects from both, so now i try to manage my depression by myself, with mediation and exercise

yes i went to the doctor for counsulting my problem and take medicine that the doctor give.

I have what they call chronic depression and was diagnosed with it in 1995.I have been on a combination of meds since as some wear off after awhile.The meds have helped me handle my life and I do not know where I would be today without them.

Yea I am on anti depressants and have been for 2 yrs now...now that we have the right dose figured out it works wonders for me..the only downside that I have noticed is if I miss more than two doses for whatever reason, my depression comes back worse than what it was originally which is a creepy and scary thing considering it was severe before the meds..oh and I'm always thirsty which isnt a bad thing really since I needed to get more water into me anyway LOL

I take Prozac but it dont help.(20mgs) I need to change meds or my level increased so my depression will improve.

no unless i'm so severely and extremely depressed. i hate taking medicines eversince a child so im not really used to it. i only take medicines when i'm so ill. i just go over with my depression by eating chocolates and listening to music ^^

no, I don't take anything

No.i don't take medicine.Instead i listen to the music to get refreshed.

yes, it helped. just follow your doctor's advice.
