Question Posted Saturday February 24 2007, 9:40 am
Hi, are there any medications, preferrably pills that can get rid of stress/depression & make you happier? I mean real medications, like from the doctor. Also, do the pills actually work, and you feel less depressed, or what goes on?
musicislove answered Sunday February 25 2007, 12:16 pm: I have been told that some of the pills do work. But also some don't. Like I guess if your not that bad they will give you the kind that make you think they work,and they really dont. It's all in your head. But a lot of the stuff really does work. I have 2 friends that have depression so i know alil about it :]
i hope i have helped in any way!

I've been on anti-depressants for about five years now, and they've helped me immensely. Thanks to them, I can function. I don't feel like just crying all the time. I can get out of bed.
Mind you, if you're just stressed, I would hope the doctor wouldn't prescribe them. If you genuinely feel you suffer from depression, then yes, they are an option.
It might take awhile to find the right ones, and their effects might eventually wear off. I've changed mine and changed the dose numerous times, and it's a pain, but it's worth it.
If you show signs of depression, you should talk to your doctor. He or she might just suggest therapy, or might prescribe pills. But I certainly can't do much more than tell you what I have.
If you have any other questions, though, I'd be happy to try and tackle them. I'm pretty open about my depression and everything concerning it, so don't be afraid of asking anything too personal. [ Daimeera's advice column | Ask Daimeera A Question ]

I have never used them myself. But having worked with doctors in the past, I can tell you many people
say they have helped them a lot. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
