What is it like to take antidepressants regularly?

Answer By Expert :


I had been wanting to try antidepressants for a while before I actually did, but I was hesitant because my parents had convinced me that they gave false happiness and turned you  into a zombie. It turned out that that idea was completely bogus. If anything, antidepressants woke me up from a zombie-like state that chronic depression had put me in for years.

I took Citalopram for a few years and it worked wonders. I later switched to Generic Lexapro, and it works well, too. Either of them is worth trying. I haven't noticed any side effects except an upset stomach in the beginning, but that went away after my body got used to the medicine. It's no worse than any other pharmaceuticals.

When I first started antidepressants, it only took a few weeks for me to go from near suicidal to spontaneously smiling. It was totally worth it. Once I got on antidepressants, I was better able to cope with my problems instead of feeling helpless and defeated, and I was able to strengthen my relationships with family and friends.
