Replies Aliboo Posted at 5:16 pm on Oct. 6, 2008 They have that as a side effect, it messes with that balance in your brain duesxmachina Posted at 5:02 pm on Oct. 6, 2008 Quote: from Feminawesome at 9:44 am on Oct. 6, 2008 Suicidal thoughts are actually a pretty common side effect for antidepressants. Ironic, no? if by ironic you mean its sad to see kids going down because they were told it would help? yeah thats ironic.

Ironic, no? iconoclast Posted at 9:42 am on Oct. 6, 2008 Depends what you define as 'work'. Ashleey Posted at 9:41 am on Oct. 6, 2008 Well I never had some but me I think it dosnt work.. you could haddle you shit by your self.. h a t t Posted at 9:41 am on Oct. 6, 2008 Celexa works for me. FurryPanther Posted at 9:37 am on Oct. 6, 2008 They do work for me. Some anti-depressants will increase suicidal thoughts while decreasing depression, to a point. So they may seem like they aren't working until they fully kick in and do what they need to do. FP aliens Posted at 9:37 am on Oct. 6, 2008 I'm on Effexor too and it's done no good at all... They're finally taking me off it after a year.. liv21 Posted at 9:31 am on Oct. 6, 2008 Yeah considering the only one approved for kids under 18 is Prozac. Plus I'm pretty much against medicating people under 20. 2kewl4u2know Posted at 9:31 am on Oct. 6, 2008 They don't work for everyone, no, but they do work....Or they're supposed to.  It's all about chemical balances, and probably like most other medications you feel worse before the effects start to make you feel better. But antidepressants DO work for people, again just not everyone. MushroomSatsujin Posted at 9:31 am on Oct. 6, 2008 Nope. I took effexor. Nothing. My most effective anti-depressant was weed dreamon Posted at 9:31 am on Oct. 6, 2008 If you plan on having kids in the future...I wouldn't take them...that might just go for girls though. I'm not too sure. :/ GoodFairy13 Posted at 9:30 am on Oct. 6, 2008 your rely to much on the pills LaWhoren Posted at 9:30 am on Oct. 6, 2008 ha i aint never took them dont plan to Solomon Grundy Posted at 9:29 am on Oct. 6, 2008 o....k good to know Most recent 15 of 15 previous replies displayed.
