I am always weary about taking prescription medication. I will take antibiotics, but that's about it. Pain medicine makes me loopy, and everything else scares me. Junior took an antidepressant a couple of years ago, and although it made him less depressed, it also made him a shell of who he was. I mean, what is the point of being medicated if it changes who you are, and it makes your life less enjoyable. I know this sounds funny, but sometimes antidepressants have the opposite effect on some people. I think that is why there is a paxil lawsuit, and other lawsuits out there. I read that some people even become suicidal on antidepressants. To me, that is about as unhelpful as it gets. When you are depressed already, why take a medicine that makes you want to kill yourself?
Now, before I get some negative comments, I am only speaking for myself. I know that some people need antidepressants, and that they live a full and happy life taking them. I am not against medication in general. I mean, my son takes Ritalin every day of his life. I am just speaking about my own personal experience, and what I believe is right for me.
