How long did it take for your antidepressant to work?
Bout tree fitty
Fucking never
Depends on the drug.
SSRI and SNRIs lower anxiety within the first day. It can take a while, up to a month, before this lower anxiety has any effect on your mood. They're absolutely useless for depression not caused by anxiety. Long term usage will cause depression. They also numb your genitals.
TCA's are a different kettle of fish and reserved for real depression, not the bullshit sadness infecting modern society.
Antipsychotics just numb you but drug companies have pushed their use.
There are also various atypicals that do weird things.
It didn't. A decent ballpark is 1-2 months if it actually works for you. I think it also depends on the drug in question.
This is close to completely wrong, you fucking nigger.
They will work, just keep taking the pills your good doctor prescribed.
SSRIs like a week til it stabilized my mood and killed my libido, which was ok since I didn`t made much use of it anyway. Then another week and a half til it fucked up my sleep so bad that it backfired on my mood way worse than ground line.
Tricyclic ones never did anything useful for me from my perspective. They just change my mood from a melancholic despair to nervous, angry despair.
If they help, they don't help in the long run. They are best served to normies that get depressed over short-lived life events that they can realistically deal with then quit the antidepressant, using it only for a short time to help them get over it.
Eventually they stop working as well because if the emotional causes of your depression are not resolved the tolerance build up will eventually make them useless and it will just leave you back to where you were, but now you'll have a dependence on a drug to make you feel normal.
