When an antidepressant starts working, is it like a switch flips in your head when you wake up and everything is all better? What would you describe the feeling like.

It’s a similar feeling to when one of pic related’s aft missiles crashes into your fucking throte.

Some affect you differently,I remember fluoxetine making me feel almost excited as if I was a kid going on a trip to disneyland
Some just numb your emotions so you don't feel too much of anything you just sort of stay at a level

No it’s gradual and they don’t make me happy they make me not depressed.
Jack Rogers
For me it was like I had more emotional energy/motivation, so instead of just laying in bed, I actually felt the urge to do things.

they really don't work at all

They don't make you happy. They just normalise you so you don't have the full weight of the depressions sapping your energy. but YOU have to get up and do things. You don't just take antidepressants and your life is all better. You have to use them as a tool to kick start the changes in your life that need to be made. Remember you can't just sit around and do the same things that are making you depressed.

also remember. Being happy all the time isn't normal or possible. So don't expect yourself to be. I used to be depressed which was horrible but i made some big changes to my shitty habits, my habitual procrastination and my regularly scheduled day of doing absolutely nothing and my god awful nighttime routine/sleeping habits.Now I cruise around not feeling happy or sad most of the time with the occasional flicker of happiness if nice things happen during the day and feeling happy and energised when I actually do something that takes physical effort or I overcome a challenge/i complete something well. I also learned to get a big boost out of talking to people. I work in a cinema so I talk to all my customers about movies and I generally just learned to patter and banter back and forth with people which makes it a lot easier to stop isolation and really develops social skills. I feel a lot more confident in myself now. I'd say the one thing to remember is any "normal" person DOESN'T feel happy all the time.

Same effects as a placebo... dont let any idiot in here tell you a pill solves your problems. They dont. Unfuck your life and your depression will go away.

I'm not dealing with depression I mean am but then I had a neopets milkshake so I'm good... I did find something for mental clarity which is all I needed...
