Re: Medication question(Want your experiences too :) - August 2nd 2017, 10:25 PM

Antidepressants can be great once you find the one that works the best for you. Remember that not all of them work for everyone.

I know that my personal experience with antidepressants was that the first one worked for a little while and then stopped working as well as it did and so she switched me to the one I am currently on and it is the best thing that has ever happened. I know it's the medication doing it, but I also had therapy alongside it for a good portion of the time, so I think having a combination of therapy and the medication was important for me because it helped me to learn ways to cope without relying on the medication. Even on the medication people can still have bad days, so it's important to still have ways to cope. However, therapy alone wasn't working for me so the medication gave me that extra boost.

You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
