I've been on anti-depressants since I was a teenager. I got off the meds last summer and I feel so much better now. I'm angry because I feel like the meds were just fucking up my brain chemistry and making me sadder. If I hadn't been medicated my life might be totally different right now. I want to punch the doctor that prescribed the pills in the face.

I just had a lot of home issues as a kid so I was tired and sad. I feel like if those issues had been addressed I might be better off now.

Venting over.

its no use looking back, focus on the present!! Youre still super young

but I get u, not every medication works for everyone. sometimes depression is also just a side effect caused by another issue (thyroid, adhd, etc.) so getting anti depressants doesnt work. Your doc should have definitely done some more check-ups or tried other medication seeing how yours lead to no improvement.

But at least its over now! I'm not sure if youre using birth control but if not maybe stay away from that as well (for the time being) since it can take a toll on your hormonal balance as well

Thanks, that was helpful

I'll try not to dwell on it. You're right, what's important is that now I'm doing better

And I'm eating birth control pills for my PMS symptoms and cramps. They help somewhat, before I got on the pill I couldn't function at all on the first day of period.
