Hey everyone, i went for a medication review the other day and realised i've been on anti depressants for 4 years, it made me feel horrible. i left the doctors office feeling more depressed than when i went in, i feel like i'm never going to get better! Is there anyone else out there who has been on them this long and what's your experience? current medication: Sertraline -100mg
hi abbi,i will NEVER allow my doctor’s to tell me they know what is best for me and that i NEED antidepressants! please consider no antidepressants and try yoga, mindfulness, sport, Pilates or dog walking, stroking a cat etc, anything to do with looking after you!
I hope you told your doctor what you’ve said here. It could be that you need a modification of your medications or a new type of medication. There are antidepressants for people like myself who need to be calmed down and a different kind for people who need to be pepped up. If you’re on the wrong kind, then it won’t be helping you at all.
Best of luck and thanks for posting here.
I agree.
