Antidepressants the PROS  and CONS ,more and more people are taking antidepressants. Why? do they really need them. Antidepressant  work wonderful for people that truly need them .  they help people  that have several different mental issues. They allow depressed people to live a normal life.  These type of medication can be vary help. Now think about this; how many people are sitting in front of the television and see advertising for a antidepressant . They will list several symptoms that almost everyone will experience  at one time or another. The symptoms are common affects of  everyday life not a reason to take a pill. "how  much harm can these little happy pill cause when they are not needed" .

      So, you may feel a little bit blue or overwhelmed one day after seeing a advertisement  on TV you decide wow maybe I can use that. A  call to  the doc not realizing that antidepressant are all trail and error. They do not work the same on all people, it also take about three to four weeks for them to start working properly. Hopefully,  you have told some one in your family that you have started taking a new medication. So, there will be someone that know if you are not acting like yourself, remember these are mind altering medication and to be safe someone should know.

     I will tell you a little something that happen to me. I was feeling a bit down in the dumps when I first moved to the burbs.  I decided after watching television wow maybe I am depressed, off I  went to the doctor on the first, for a couple of  weeks it made me very sleepy, back to the doc on another one for about two months I became extremely mean angry . I think the last one was the worst of them all I was on this medication for about three months that was about the scariest time I ever had in my life.

       All I can really say is thank god for my husband and family!!! Remember mind altering medication it make you feel pretty good everyone else is wrong and you are right. On the other hand I did not care about anything my children could be boxing I did not care, no cleaning, cooking ,laundry, my house was a wreck, I could give a rats, who was mad or who I hurt. I had no stress and no fear of consequence. I almost lost everything that was important to me. I  am very great to my hubby for realizing that I was not right and getting me off them

     My point being ,don’t believe everything you see on TV and be very care antidepressant can be very dangerous when they are not needed
