About me: I am 19 years old and have had problems with Depression for a while now. I was taking medication from when I was 14 to almost 17, and it never seemed to help much. I was on at least 5 different kinds for long periods of time and it never helped really. It helped with depression just a bit but the bad side effects..I just couldnt handle them: I just didnt feel human, no emotions, nervousness, weight gain/loss, appetite loss/gain, virtually no sex drive, feeling like a zombie, I couldnt control myself at all...More recently with my moderate depression, Ive had panic attacks and episodes of psychosis, I also deal with bad anxiety all the time. I thought it was something physical but I recently went to a doctor yet again and he yet again came up with nothing and said I might be depressed and he said I should try medication out again (I havent taken any medication in over 2 years).
Question: Are there any good Anti-Depressants???
(I mean without really bad side effects and help more than they hurt) I am finally maybe possibly willing to take them again, but if they have the same side effects Id rather just quit or not take them at all then deal with all of that again. Or does anyone know of alternate medication/things or natural things that you could take with less or no side effects? I am looking for anything that could help that wont hurt more than it helps.
