I'm just wondering, after reading all those horror-sories of side effects, addiction, etc., are there any antidepressants with some really positive effect, like getting back the interest in life ? I mean, really ?
Answer:
Yes, Leo, REALLY! The correct antidepressant will work wonders giving you back your life. It is the problem of finding one, or a combination, that will work for you. Also, want to correct your misconception -- antidepressants ARE NOT addictive!!!! Antidepressants alone will not always correct the problem -- sometimes therapy is a workable addition. If you are feeling depressed, and have been for a while, please seek medical help and know that you are not alone. I've been on the same AD for about 18 yrs - except for the 2 yrs my dr tried to get on an SSRI for weight control (didn't work for either depression or weight). It's wonderful! YES, I'm interested in lots of things, I have a real life, life is fairly good! The ADs correct the brain. Unfortunately, anyone who's been depressed for a long time is likely to have developed coping mechanisms that can cause problems when the person is no longer depressed. Talk therapy can help clear that up. Both are valuable. Antidepressants are not addictive. Some (such as the SSRI's and [especially] the SRI, Effexor) have "withdrawal syndromes". But these are a short-term, purely physiological based withdrawal, in which a person experiences some discomfort while his/her body re-adjusts itself to the change in chemical homeostasis. This is not "withdrawal" as in the "addiction" related sense of the term. "Addiction" withdrawal occurs when a PLEASURE PRODUCING drug (e.g. cocaine, nicotine, etc...etc...) is stopped and the user suffers, both, a short-term physiological withdrawal syndrome similar to the above, plus (and this is crucial here) a _LEARNED CRAVING_, or psychological "hunger", for the drug. This, the antidepressants simply do not produce.
