| what do guys think of girls who take antidepressants?
Posted: 7/1/2009 2:14:15 PM | it is unfortunate that so many people share the views of Tom Cruise.
i do agree that many people are prescribed medication for no reason. but for thoes of us who require medication to lead a "normal life" we get thrown to the way side.
i have suffered from anxiety and depression for my entire life. at 17 i finally started medication. (i am currently 21). If i hadn't recieved the medication and councelling that i did i would not be here today! because my mental health is so well controlled people do not know i am on medication unless i tell them.
coming from an extremly disfunctional family combined with 'tainted' genes puts me where i am today. i am happy to say that i love the person i am on medication and my mum says i am a completly different person than before the medication started.
i don't plan on getting off my medication any time soon or ever.
ill stand by and wait for the harsh comments and for thoes i have been talking to, to stop communication.

Posted: 7/1/2009 2:30:02 PM | | I have ADHD and Fibromyalgia, but have opted not to take medication for either of these things. I tried several medications for ADHD, and they either made me lethargic, too sleepy to function at work or more hyper and scattered than I am without medication. I drive one of my co workers crazy at work some days, but we teach special education students and I tell her that maybe she is just having a bad day with her students if I am getting on her nerves so badly. The end of the school year is so busy, but I always manage to multi task just fine. I was born at 24 weeks gestation age, and have always wondered if being a preemie was the cause of my ADHD. Small price to pay for my life, as many babies born 52 years ago at my birth weight either died or were severely disabled. | |

Posted: 7/1/2009 4:48:01 PM | I have a great sister that requires Paxil to make her life easier. Sure she could do without it, but why do so if depression starts edging back in on her. Most people do not know that she takes it except close friends and family and her physican and pharmacist. She does not behave in a psychotic manner. But when she attempts to go off the med, she starts having very horrible and vivid dreams that worry her, she is very emotional and cries a lot. She has had some very bad losses in her life and had a very emotionally abusive husband (that kind of abuse doesn't just stop when the divorce happens, it is very deep seated and stays with a person for the rest of their life) and at times it all comes flooding back in to her. If she is on the med, she can be fully functioning and have a more happy life.
As for myself, I would have NO problem dating a lady that is taking an antidepressant medication if it is a help to her. Besides, more do than you know about.
And as for how it effects her libido, I have no idea and do not care to find out. That is her personal business. | |

Posted: 7/1/2009 5:18:17 PM | Depends on how long she's been taking them...and why.
If the answers are things that I can "get my mind around"..then we might be good.
If she's addicted...or the reason is REALLY f*cked up...I'd give her a pass. | |
