Pills ****, but clinical depression is worse.

I take it right now, 100mg once a day and it has made me a more "stable" person. Before I took it, I'd have really bad days, some good, some average. now most days are good, with very little varience. It does take like 4 weeks for the full affect though.

on a side note..... zoloft has some VERY annoying side-effects:

1) you will have trouble getting it up

2) once its up..... you wont care

I have a hard time taking antidepressants. For some reason, they **** me up to the point of taking high amounts of stimulants. I get the shakes, can't concentrate, and they turn my colon into a ticking time bomb.

I'd rather just be depressed.

Man, if you are taking crazy pills you must be some kinda fvvvvvvvvvvvvvvcked up.

I hope you don't go on a shooting spree.

I have considered medication in the past to help level out my days. The side effects of the pills make me shy away. I am thinking most of my problems are caused by my approach...but not sure.

I certaintly am a better person for taking them. for a while the first thing out of my mouth (and about 100 times during the day) was, "god I wish I was dead". Since the pills and counseling (sp?) havent really felt that way again....

and my girlfriend, she makes me happier then I ever have been.

I have no problems getting it up, but ******* it takes 45min to get a nut. I mean thats cool and all every once in a while but every ****ing time is kinda annoying.

I don't see why some of you carry such a negative ideal about antidepressants and seem to correlate them to something of the devil's work.

Before zoloft turned my bowels into a slip'n'slide for no apparent reason, it really helped me out when I just didn't have any hope for myself. Didn't give a shit about anything. Didn't care if I made it to the end of the day alive. I was just so sick of life I didn't want to be apart of it anymore. Wasn't really thinking about *******, but I was just depressed as shit.

Worst of all, I had no real reason for any of these thoughts of despair. It finally got to the point to were it was noticeable to my parents so I told them and got me an appointment to the doctor. He said I had clinical depression and gave me Zoloft to help me out. The depression still comes and goes, but since I've started exercising, working out, and eating healthy, it's evened me out a lot and doesn't come around as much.

For you guys who are a bit more depressed than you know you should be, pull your head out of your ***. Most doctors aren't going to extort you of your worst memories or fill you up with a bunch of pyscho-babble. If it's the social stigma that keeps you from going, I bet you would be very surprised to learn who all in your life has these types of problems themselves. Obviously, it's not something that they are going to casually bring up in conversation, but I promise you know someone you wouldn't expect to have gone to a psychiatrist and/or take antidepressants.

Watch out, when his GF dumps him he's going to go on a shooting spree and then kill himself.

+1 great post my man.

I was very reluctant myself to get put on something that I (at the time) felt was a crutch or was for "weak" people. Sometimes you just have a chemical imbalance that needs medication to correct, plain and simple. Depression is a mother****er to live with. I did for almost 3 years. The fact that my wife and kids would be completely ****ed if I were to do so, was the only thing that kept me from ******* on a gun barrel at some of the really down times.

1.5 years and 100mg/day of Sertraline later and I am a completely different person. Some of the side effects are a minor inconvenience but the side effect of depression a lot of times is much much worse.
