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.

You're a blatant retard with no knowledge of clinical trials. I doubt you would even know how to interpret them.

They actually cause depression on their own. You can see a bit of this in results from healthy volunteer trials during the initial phases of drug investigation. They are mostly useful for anxiety related problems.

how long were you on tricyclics

That's right. I've read that people that quit them mostly all run back to them at some point because they do make you even more prone to depression during and after cessation.

It happens when you decide you don’t need them anymore

I was only on one medication, was on Prozac for like two weeks and felt no different stopped taking them as I saw no point in pumping myself full of something that is doing nothing. i'd rather be depressed and natural than pumped full of some shit to change brain chemicals.

"Work" is a strange term for them. They won't make you happy, they just make you not want to kill yourself.

Never lmao

.

they dont work. they will make a nice little bandaid in your head and you might feel different. then in 5-10 years its rotting and youll realize youre still on them and its super hard to get off and it never actually solved your depression. therapy and read books and change your life to be where you are. the power is already within you

this is so true. i was medicated for almost 10 years. way harder to get off of them than was worth any help they ever gave.

truth.

"numb" is the best result you can get from any of these meds. "happy" is already within you, you have to find it yourself though

on escitalopram 15mg and olanzapine 5mg at night. My SSRI took about 2 months to kick in. the olanzapine works wonders for my impulsiveness but i still do drugs occasionally

up to 2 months, what are you taking?
