The doc gave me a RX of Zoloft to relieve my anxiety, was absolutely the worst thing ever, I felt like I had no emotions for 3 months, I didn't get happy or sad, I was just on a steady flow of feeling blah

I've been on Celexa for migraine prophylaxis for over a year. My moods are stable, no side effects, and no migraines. So, I can't complain. Finding the right drug for you may take some doing, however, so if you start to feel weird or unusually shitty after a few weeks, talk to your doc, and see about switching to a different drug. Though they all seek to accomplish the same objective, all anti-depressants are all chemically distinct, so your body will react to each one differently. It's just a matter of finding the right one for you. Best of luck!

I read a story on yahoo news that said antidepressants claim to do a lot more than they really do.

Here's similar ones-

I was on prozac for half my teen years and it helped me kick ocd. It gives you that little extra push to stop spinning your wheels. It seemed to work but I was younger too. I tried more of it later in college and it just made me tired. Maybe it was expired or I was taking too much.
Anyway I think people should be careful not to rely on antidepressants. Best to find one that gives you some balance, like training wheels and then take them off when you're good to go.

My doc tried to put me on anti meds for anxiety to and after two days I had to get off. It was HORRIBLE! I would rather deal with the anxiety than ever get on those things again. I felt like I was having a terrible rolling experience of something. I felt bad.

Good luck with them Woot. Hopefully you don't feel weird on them and they do you some good.
