How many of you take an anti depressant

I cant believe so many of you are on ads. I missed the boat i guess lol. On one only just recently and its changed my life.

Amitriptyline and it helps, both my mood and fibromyalgia

Im on 20mg of celexa as well. It keeps me pretty positive. Doesnt do much for motivation though

I used to take Anafranil (for OCD) and it helped tremendously but I stopped taking it because it gave me a fine hand tremor.

I am on prozac it works well for me.

I have fibro as well, rarer in males but thats why i did cymbalta

I’ve been on that (called duloxetine here) before. I can’t remember why I stopped it. I’m really glad for you that things have much improved.

I’m not depressed at all, my depression lifted a long time ago before I was on the following 2 medications…

I am using 75mg Trazodone off label for akathisia. Trazodone is a first generation antidepressant.

I also take 60mg Lurasidone (Latuda) for schizophrenia but if you go to the latuda.com website it is advertised for use with bipoloar depression.

I think they are putting me in a good mood. I wrote about it here.

I take Wellbutrin. It helps.

i’m on sertraline. been for a long time.

I’m on Brintellix/Trintellix. It has given me my life back. It is still a bit early to tell, but I think I can go back to working three or four days a week.

My thanks to my pdoc who identified I was depressed even when I didn’t know.
