Most of the Time
It's my favorite Blond most of the time- but some time a little ativan helps a lot!ILOVETHIS said:I'm been taking an anti depressant and haven't seen any change. Wondering which ones people have had success with. Thanks
A dose of Rusty ...
... and nothing works better than a Johnny to add some magic to that monotonous, banal work environment.
PS I've only tried wellbutrin - they seem to work when you need them, but take time to kick in. However, just be sure to realize when, if ever, you can face the journey on your own.

If your depression is not too serious try a blend of essential oils - all natural so you're not putting chemicals into your body. Google essential oils for depression.ILOVETHIS said:I'm been taking an anti depressant and haven't seen any change. Wondering which ones people have had success with. Thanks
I've always found that having an hour of wild sex with a girl that is ridiculously too young for me does the trick. Always makes me smile and puts an added bounce in my step. No shock treatments or medication either!ILOVETHIS said:Wondering which ones people have had success with. Thanks
I agree. I think that is still the best and natural cure for depressionMuffinMuncher said:I've always found that having an hour of wild sex with a girl that is ridiculously too young for me does the trick.

Guys...
don't want to add to the burden of despair - but a question.
When you take all these varieties of medication. So many varieties.
Do you ever wonder if its totally 100% safe? I mean, not speaking in terms of possible mixed cocktails of medication. I'm talking about the medication you're taking stand alone. What it possibly is doing to your body and most especially, your brain? Its the brain I'm particularly concerned about.
Even though the medical community, aka personal physicians try to reassure you that nothing permanent occurs and that the medication has been tested and has the FDA Approval for total physical safety. Nothing serious/severe lasting, no damage permanent to yourself will occur. Only temporary side effects.
But what if the side effects aren't the only thing that occurs. What if there's something permanent that occurs, that you're not even fully aware of
I'm speaking in terms of medication such as this, anti-depressant medication that does most of its work in the brain?
So my question is, how can we be sure, that these medications won't do any lasting damage in the head. Such as memory loss or lower IQ? Or harder to concentrate? In the long run.
Yeah yeah yeah..the doctors know what they're prescribing. They assure us that its perfectly safe, aside from the temporary side effects. These medications have been tested thoroughly.
But can we be so certain its perfectly safe? How can they be sure nothing will happen in the long term? How do they know for sure what goes on in the brain? No memory loss? No loss of short term or long term memory? No loss of IQ? They barely can even look into what happens in the brain. They barely even know how the brain functions, yet.
Its the things I think about whenever I take a tylenol.
Its the things I think about whenever I see someone take drugs, even weed.
There has been studies revealing that anti-depressants does brain damage? True?
There has been studies even that weed does damage short term and long term memory, in the long run.
So, what do you guys believe?
This question also goes for pain killer medications. There are so many varieties of them. How do we know it doesn't damage the brain permanently, in the long run?
Such as morphine, for example?

Anti depressants come in many differrent varities and work in many many different ways. No med that worked ffor a friend will work for you. It's body,brain chemistry and need that are the crieria.
You will have to work with your doctor and find the one thaty works for you.
They will not hurt you, they will not cause your brain to rot or any other damage.
They will allow you to have perspective on life that you didn't have before.
Downsides:
You may not feel as emotional when circumstance means you normally would be. For instance if funerals get you big time..you may find you don't feel the same emotionally.
You may find you've lost some of your libido. If so tell your doc and switch the med. They all have some effect on libido but some less than others for certain people. Again talk to your doc.
You may find the drug makes you more hyper than normal.
Having said that it's a slow process with your doc to find the right med.
Ignore the usual terbie response to drink have sex and fight a 300 lb bouncer to see if you can win! (by the way alcohol is a depressant)
It takes some time and some info from you for your doc to get the right med for you.
You don't have to be on the med for the rest of your life, but it will help you through difficult times when needed.
Be well and ignore the looney responses. They mean well but they're all trying to upstage each other..lol

How do you know this for a fact? Sure. Your personal physician assures you, when you ask him, does this medication carry any risk of harmful permanent damage if I take it? He says no. Its safe. Just as long as you take it as prescribed and follow the instructions.MarkII said:They will not hurt you, they will not cause your brain to rot or any other damage.
But, they're always coming out with published articles in the newspapers saying how they did a research study and revealed that some anti-depressant medication do pose harmful effects to the brain, etc, etc.
I'm particular concerned about painkillers cause someone I know takes painkillers on a regular basis. For a chronic condition.
We all know that anyone that undergoes electric shock treatment does leave some physical damage to the brain - which translates to mental damage = brain damage.
Even though they assure you that electric shock treatment doesn't leave any permanent damage. We all know it obviously does.
There was a writer that underwent electric shock treatment and afterwards, claimed he could no longer be creative. Could no longer write like he did before.I forgot the name of this writer.
Wow, what a place to be posing these kinds of questions. Questions that are far to dangerous.
reminds me of the old joke...Two guys are watching a dog lick his balls and one guy says "I wish I could do that" and the other says "Make sure you pet him first."elmufdvr said:.while the bar tender licks my balls ..hummm the memories of the good old days....

First I research any drug my doc prescribes thouroughly on the general source of mis-information the internet.
I do not trust media reports as usually those are "lifted" for the headline effect rather than the content.
I look to the American Journal of Medicine and the Mayo clinc sites for more accurate info.
Plus you asking about pain meds. Pain meds will more than likely cause renal failure if over abused. Nothing within the brain. Pain meds have to be filtered through the renal system and cause kidney and liver failure more than anything else.
Stick to the topic...anti depressants. Some are new and cutting edge but all have gone through extensive testing before coming to market. Does that mean they are safe 35 years from now? No it doesn't but I won't be alive 35 years from now.
If I get relief from a med that works and does not reduce my life expectancy then I will take it based on my research.
There are no guarantee's in any aspect of life. To asssume the medical profession which is driven by the drug companies is safe is wrong. But you can take risks based on your age and your condition.
The key is finding a doc that thinks the same as you do.
Yeah, I'm just worried that if i take any kind of medication, pain medication or anti-depressants, that suddenly I can't think as clearly as I did before. Or that my memory starts failing. Or I'm not as sharp as I used to be. Anything that is permanent.
Especially with long term use.
We all know that all damage to the brain is permanent and cannot be undone.
I have had this same argument with a few friends of mine, over the use of recreational drugs. Why risk taking them? How do you know you won't end up with permanent brain damage that cannot be undone afterwards? Never mind permanent death. I heard about some drugs that leave you with suffering from hallucinations for the rest of your life, from even just one time use.

Then why do some medications list side effects such as
dizziness, tiredness, or lightheadedness;
dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, or decreased appetite;
severe weakness or dizziness; or
unconsciousness.
slow, weak breathing;
seizures
-
These are not light or mild side effects. They might indicate some damage being inflicted?
