I have been taking Escitalopram 10mg a day for about 3 months now. And for the first couple of weeks I documented the side effects which lasted a couple of weeks...

Thursday Sept 22 (1st day of taking the meds.)
-Shakey and hungry

Friday Sept 23
-Shakey, hungry, nauseous

Saturday Sept 24
-Shakey, hungry, insane, crazy, jittery

Sunday Sept 25
-Can't feel sad

Monday Sept26
-Sleepy but can't sleep

Tuesday Sept27
-Sleepy, trouble with concentration, anxious, hungry

Tuesday Oct 4
-Sleepy but a lot better and happier

After that I noticed sprouts of happiness and excitement in me. I even started to laugh out randomly, which was really weird. Sometimes I would be very confused if I was really happy for myself or if it was just the medicine at play. Either way... I could still feel the sadness inside of me being locked away in a chest. It's still there.

NOW that I'm off the meds, the withdraw side effects are TERRIBLE. JUST TERRIBLE.
I feel nauseous, dizzy, sleepy, my body is sore, and I have trouble concentrating. I also get brain zaps, because my brain is trying to adjust to the chemicals changes. It's bad... fingers crossed the withdraw side effects end soon.

I took Ritalin when I was little (To calm you down when you're too excited)
Apparently the dose was too high for me, I started to get really anxious bitting my nails untill they bleed and at the end I did some hallucination.

Ah.. Good times ;'>

"rip u"
I MIGHT tamper slowly so the side effects won't hurt me as much... idk I really dont want to take the meds... or i could just do "cold-turkey" and suffer through the side effects painfully

"i take Escitalopram 20mg and wellbutrin 600mg daily. i am unable to cry or feel sad and i have no desire to eat food, i eat one bowl of yogurt once a day just so it feels like im eating something"

Wow rip you when you withdraw from them. Maybe you should talk to your doctor about the "not feeling hungry" part o.o..

"Dang, that's crazy! I don't like medication."

Lesson learned here. I won't rely on meds for happiness.

@Zerknox
LMAO when I read that, I pictured you as Sandy from The Croods xD

I never understood why people poison themselves for something like depression. It's only going to make your situation worse, go natural.

I had anti-depression tablets during summer and all they did was just stop me from crying, didn't help at all. Just made me slightly worse than before taking them when I stopped, but faded away after a while.

I'm not going to go through withdrawal, I've been taking them consistently for over a year

Because I wanted to live and I thought it was the only thing that would help me live.

@championbuilder
Guess it is different for everyone.

@widaj
I hope one day you will find something else that will make you happy, other than a bottle of pills.

@sherlockedholmes
Bipolar is considered a form of depression? So I would assume they prescribe similar meds?

Depression isn't a state of mind where something can make you happy, it is a mental disorder which can only be solved with medicine.

no they're on different meds, depression is only one side of bipolar

Depression can be cured without dangerous medicine that has harmful effects on your brain and liver. Try with natural remedies.

Depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain that can be caused by numerous things, it is something that requires medical treatment as much as the flu does.

@Widaj

You might think anti depressant medicine will make you healthy again, but the thing is, side effects can appear even after taking them, and they can lead to even bigger problems. Every chemical medicine has at least some side effects.

I don't take antidepressants in order to be 'healthy'. I take them so I stop trying to hurt myself. If the medicine hurts me then big deal, that's what I've been trying to do since the beginning.

If you want to take them, go ahead. If they make you feel better, use them. Just don't be surprised if you have problems with liver later in life.

@Suzie

My cousin got diagnosed with depression two years ago, she cured herself with herbal supplements. It's true, natural remedies work.
