Effectiveness of ProzacIs Prozac effective?
How
about Zoloft or other anti-depressants? Who should take
them? Everyone gets down or anxious. It is part of
life. It is only when your depression or anxiety get in the way
of everyday life that it needs a closer look.
Anti-depressive/Anti-anxiety medicines can definitely help take the
edge off of depression or anxiety, but they aren’t a silver
bullet.
Is the trade-off worth it? For those who are experiencing debilitating symptoms, probably so. For those with more mild symptoms, there are a broad range of alternatives. Exercise is key. It can be hard to exercise when you are feeling depressed, but it really helps. Diet is an important also. Eating junky foods isn’t what your body needs. Yoga and meditation are also good ideas. Sometimes just talking to someone can be what you need. If you decide to visit a therapist, find one who you are comfortable with. If medicine seems to be right for you, make sure you discuss the trade-offs with your doctor. Do the benefits outweigh the costs? If so, then go for it. Life is good. You can conquer depression. |

Anti depressants Reply to this Comment I have been on fluoxitine for over 2 years and Remeron for a year now. But I still get depressed and have noticed it more so lately. I have had many years of therapy as well. I have arthritis so exercises are limited by pain. I also tire very easily. Anyone have suggestions on why still depressed and what more I can do. depression Reply to this Comment I hear ya. I have had the same problems. Have been on 4 different anti-depression meds for the past 4 years. When I first started taking it, everything was great. Now it doesn't really help that much. Excersize is really the key. That and routine. Even if you have arthritis (I do as well), yoga, or resistant cords do help. Anything you can do. I know I really struggle with the exersize, because when you are depressed that is the last thing you feel like doing, but it helps a lot!!! Good luck. 4+ yrs no help Reply to this Comment I've been on prozac for more than 4 years. i trialed about three other meds prior. prozac seemed to help at first but now i'm back to the big lows and helpless feelings, agitation and irritability. there has to be more help out there for those who have tried exercise and therapy and meds. | ||||||||
