Do anti-deps actually help anybody?
G
So I am at a place in my DP/anxiety where I need to try something different. Not sure what, but whatever it is I am doing currently isn't working. The doc seems to think I am depressed. I would agree - can't see how anybody could do DP for very long without becoming depressed.
I have tried a variety of meds in the past. I'm pretty sure I haven't given any of them a chance, as I tend to stop due to what I perceive are side effects. They make me feel wierd, which is what I am trying to NOT feel.
Anyway, can anybody here honestly say that anti-depressant type medication has helped them in any way? Maybe not directly the DP, but have they helped with depression or anxiety? I have a feeling if I could get a handle on those two, the DP might lessen on it's own. She offered me this week's new med.....can't remember what it's called, but it is in capsule form so I said no. I want pills that I can cut into small pieces to start with, otherwise I'm sure I would stop after the first one. Figure if I ease into it I might be more likely to stay the course. So she suggested Zoloft. Tried that one before and it didn't scare me too much. Seems to me I stopped taking it because I thought it was interfering with my sleep. I'm not sleeping at all right now so I figure that won't be a problem.
ANYway........back to the question: can anybody honestly say anti-depressant medication has helped them?

Geee.... I guess this is the only thread that has gotten away from the original topic. Its never needed moderating before, but I guess its a good thing your are doing your job. You gotta give us a little credit...were at least not talking about our love life???

Hi John,
I just wanted to interject that benzo use discussion can get people on a roll. Please do not take it as if you were the only one to receive such immediate slamming. As you can see, there are differing opinions and this always becomes a heated topic.
Anyway, I just did not want you to think that people on the site were so abrupt with just any post. Mainly this and religion gets them going. Do stick around though as there are other topics where courteous replies are the norm.
Hope to see you around here again.
