I had quite a few side effects, weight gain, increased insomnia, irritability, inability to rest or relax, minor hallucinations after going an extended period with no sleep and my anxiety/energy cranked all the way up. I stopped when a scheduling error made me miss getting my prescription refilled, and I never scheduled another appointment afterwards. --- What did the pirate say on his 80th birthday?

madadude 05/13/17 1:34:38 AM #17:	Yeah I take Zoloft but a very minor dose. It isn't for depression though it is for anxiety/panic disorder, basically to prevent me from having panic attacks. Don't notice any effect naturally unless if I think about it and realize how the frequency of my panic attacks and extended periods of worrying have decreased significantly. My only side effect really is weight gain, I've gained maybe 10 pounds in the past 6 months. Still look pretty slim but I am 6'2" and 215 lbs now. Luckily a good amount of that is my broad frame and muscles though. --- http://www.last.fm/user/madadude17 <cite>madadude posted [p:879007475] in Have you e...

yutterh 05/13/17 6:49:19 AM #31:	yes in highschool and when i was a young adult. I used to take prozac and i don't remember any side effects. In fact the reason i stopped taking it is because my parents were going through some problems. My mom moved to grandmas for like 2 weeks and stuff was going down with my adad and my sister (he choked her apparently) So we lived with my grandma for a while. I guess i was taking it all really well cause my mom was devistated obviouisly and she told me "If you weren't on your medication, you would probably be having a much harder time" So after that i stopped taking my medicine. By telling my doctor i no longer wanted to take it so i can be in the military or some shit. So i got off of it. Which was a mistake honestly. Later on after i graduated highschool i got back on prozac, but being older and more knowledgable, I asked if it would conflict with my tegratol (for epileplsy) . My doctor decided to put me on effexor. It worked i guess and i don't know why i stopped taking it. Just stopped lol Probably something stupid. But i felt prozac worked best for me. Effexor worked good too and i don't remember having any side effects. Also the side effects do not effect everyone. They have to label everything that happens to people. So whatever they put on happened to at least one person. Also every single medicine has side effects. Tylonal even has a problem with killing young kids apparently. So when someone says not to take something that can help you because of a list of side effects is full of it. Yeah it be nice not having to take medicine and to "just get through your shit" but not everyone handles things the same and needs a extra boost. Your medication will not solve your problems for you but it can give you the strength to get through them. So if you feel you need the medication, try it. If it don't work then just get off. I was fortunate to have a awesome doctor that explained a lot of things to me. He said that pills are dangerous and you should use the minimum amount that will work. He was constantly lowering my medication dosages as long as it was working. He was a great doctor. --- i7-5820K 3.3GHz, Asus X99-DELUXE, Corsair H110i GTX, 850 EVO 1TB, EVGA GTX 970 4GB FTW ACX2.0, Corsair 760T, EVGA 850W, Orion Spark, Proteus Core, Benq BL3200PT <cite>yutterh posted [p:879014655] in Have you e...

I guess i was taking it all really well cause my mom was devistated obviouisly and she told me "If you weren't on your medication, you would probably be having a much harder time" So after that i stopped taking my medicine. By telling my doctor i no longer wanted to take it so i can be in the military or some shit. So i got off of it. Which was a mistake honestly. Later on after i graduated highschool i got back on prozac, but being older and more knowledgable, I asked if it would conflict with my tegratol (for epileplsy) . My doctor decided to put me on effexor. It worked i guess and i don't know why i stopped taking it. Just stopped lol Probably something stupid. But i felt prozac worked best for me. Effexor worked good too and i don't remember having any side effects. Also the side effects do not effect everyone. They have to label everything that happens to people. So whatever they put on happened to at least one person. Also every single medicine has side effects. Tylonal even has a problem with killing young kids apparently. So when someone says not to take something that can help you because of a list of side effects is full of it. Yeah it be nice not having to take medicine and to "just get through your shit" but not everyone handles things the same and needs a extra boost. Your medication will not solve your problems for you but it can give you the strength to get through them. So if you feel you need the medication, try it. If it don't work then just get off. I was fortunate to have a awesome doctor that explained a lot of things to me. He said that pills are dangerous and you should use the minimum amount that will work. He was constantly lowering my medication dosages as long as it was working. He was a great doctor.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Very easy to access, I almost think doctors just throw them at people who come in about a majority of mental issues so they can avoid fixing the underlying issue's at hand.
