I'm 17 and have been suffering depression and social anxiety for years now. only recently I've been seeing a doctor and a therapist and he prescribed me lustral 50mg tablets but he said he will have to increase my dose knowing my circumstances. everyone in my family is discouraging me to take it, and my mum experienced depression and took tablets herself, but she said that it made her emotionally distant and I've also looked online and read a lot of negative reviews. I'm so scared of taking the ya lets I haven't even take. one yet. what shall I do?

Hey there I take lustral aka sertraline and at first I found the side effects awful but then after a few days they decreased and I started to feel a bit better. It takes a good few weeks to kick in. Although the side effects werent very nice I'm glad I started taking the meds as I feel better on them. I don't feel 100% and I still have my bad days, but all in all I feel better about life and actually have good days which I never had before! It's worth giving them a try, you may not experience the side effects as badly as I did; I couldnt eat, sleep and I was constantly anxious. My doctor said to ignore what people online about the medication. Everyone is different, give them a try. Anti-depressants wont solve your problems and I think that's why people are sceptical about taking them, but they help you to cope much better. It's up to you whether or not you decide to try them but have a think about it and maybe talk to your doctor again. Hope I helped :)
I observed antidepressants (Celexa) worked really good for me, the only aspect influence used to be some main issue orgasming. I have been on and off them a pair occasions. The primary time I went off on the grounds that I felt like my existence was once higher and that i failed to want them any further, and i felt excellent once I stopped taking them. However, they don't permanently trade some thing in your mind (which is an effective factor), so you might return to being depressed after you stop taking them. Nonetheless, being on anti-depressants CAN get you into the dependancy of having extra constructive inspiration patterns. Getting used to considering positively over a long interval of time whilst on the treatment could make it simpler to think positively once you are off it, if getting off the treatment is a precedence. Which you can take it so long as you believe you need it, although.
