So theres loads of other official threads about drugs...so why not this one.
Anyone in here on Anti-depressants? How long for? What type?
Any bad experiences with certain drugs?
Heres what i've been on.
Sept 03 - Feb 04: Prozac 20mg
Feb 04 - August 04: Seroxat 30mg (Paxil in the US i think)
August 04 - Sept 05: Prozac 40mg
Sept 05 - Nov 05: Mirtazapine 15mg
Nov 05 - Present: Mirtazapine 30mg
When pannic attacks occur Diazepam 5mg
In my honest opinoin, one of my GPs (who i no longer see) should be sued. He gave me Seroxat when i was 17. I have been told it should not be used with young men under 21 as it has strong links to Suicide rates in young men. Those 6 months were terrible, mood swings every few hours, cravings for the drug, wanting to kill myself...horrible thing.
Mirtazapine seems alright since its a SSNI (I think) rather than an SSRI which is what all the other Anti-d's that i took were.

Actually yeah, i only tried it for 2 days so i didnt include it in my list.
I was really drowzy, i was gritting my teeth so hard the whole time i cut my gums without even realising my teeth were clenched. I only took it for 2 days then went back to the doctors like "WTF was that u gave me" lol.
Trance4life627: What anti-d's is he on and what dosage? I dont do E so im not so sure, but it'll help to know that info.

Ian, how did u react to Seroxat?...i think its the same as Paxil just a different name. Like Fluoxetine is the uk version on prozac.
Do u still suffer from panic attacks now?
Oh btw on top of these pills i go to councelling once a week for an hour and also sometimes see a specialist once every 3 months or so for check ups on my status and the tablets. Anyone go to this kind of thing?

so this might be a dumb question, but why the hell would you take it then? i'm very much against anti depressants becasuse its like people give up and they think the only way they can function is with the aid of some kind of miracle drug. and especailly if it isn't doing any good...i duno all the details so i wont judge, but i mean
