-- Posted by duesxmachina at 9:29 am on Oct. 6, 2008 2 made me suicidal! effexor xr and cymbalta. if you think they work you should take a minute to think if in the near future you want to kill yourself. -- Posted by Solomon Grundy at 9:29 am on Oct. 6, 2008 o....k good to know -- Posted by LaWhoren at 9:30 am on Oct. 6, 2008 ha i aint never took them dont plan to -- Posted by GoodFairy13 at 9:30 am on Oct. 6, 2008 your rely to much on the pills -- Posted by dreamon 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. :/ -- Posted by MushroomSatsujin at 9:31 am on Oct. 6, 2008 Nope. I took effexor. Nothing. My most effective anti-depressant was weed -- Posted by 2kewl4u2know 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. -- Posted by liv21 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. -- Posted by aliens 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.. -- Posted by FurryPanther 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 -- Posted by h a t t at 9:41 am on Oct. 6, 2008 Celexa works for me. -- Posted by Ashleey 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.. -- Posted by iconoclast at 9:42 am on Oct. 6, 2008 Depends what you define as 'work'. -- Posted by Feminawesome at 9:44 am on Oct. 6, 2008 Suicidal thoughts are actually a pretty common side effect for antidepressants. Ironic, no? -- Posted by duesxmachina 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. -- Posted by Aliboo at 5:16 pm on Oct. 6, 2008 They have that as a side effect, it messes with that balance in your brain
