good for you

i see. my problems are mostly neurological. i don't have much to worry about externally despite being a little doubt about my looks and very self-conscious. 'cause i guess my appearance is pretty average and i metabolize things too fast anyway. last i checked my body fat percentage was only around 11%. and my diet is terrible. i wouldn't be surprised if i dropped dead of a heart attack at 40 from clogged arteries. i suppose i should try to stay away from fatty foods...

in any case i guess the fish oils might help. coincidentally i've been taking those lately anyway, just 'cause i'm conscious of my health and just found a bottle of the pills lying around in my medicine cupboard. haven't really noticed too much difference but then again maybe i just haven't been paying much attention or looking for a difference

lol, you're scaring me

I was on prozac and zoloft a few years ago for a few months. Didn't do anything at all for all. Got headaches and some unpleasant sexual side effects. I had issues but I wasn't depressed then so that probably had a lot to do with why it didn't work for me.

I went through many meds before I found some that worked for me. Currently I'm on a Paxil, Klonopin, and Pamelor cocktail. If you can find something like supplements, etc., that help, give them a try.

Zoloft really messed me up so I just started eating healthier and used sound/light therapy. It took near suicide to make me take drugs in the first place. But I'm just stubborn that way. I feel the therapy works very well, though not as effective as pills will ever be. Don't do Zoloft!

I took Zoloft for obsessive thinking, worked great. However, I think since I wasn't depressed, it really seemed to numb me emotionally. Even happy didn't 'feel' happy anymore. I didn't feel sad either, I just didn't feel at all. When the obsessive thinking that became bothersome to me stopped, and I'd had enough time to learn and practice ways of managing panic, I discontinued use.

If I'm frustrated and melting down one of two things is sure to help, weed or sleep. The former (after eons of self medicating) eventually leads to bigger issues with chronic use. Make socializing functionally and eye contact MUCH more difficult, and makes what executive function I do have, dysfunctional as well ...even the next day, when I don't have any.

If the Saint John's & fish oils give you some relief, I'd opt for them first. Sounds the healthiest.

I've been on anti-depressants and let me tell ya that they can be helpful but you also have to make the effort to grow and make yourself better by starting to go out and have fun. Whether it's walking in the park or going to the bowling alley with a relative or friend. If you make a attempt to do that everyday then you'll get better. You'll find yourself feeling better about yourself.

I'm on Aropax and the only side effect is my leg shakes when my feet aren't flat on the ground. It's a bit annoying but meh.
It works brilliantly though. I'm so relaxed and I don't feel drowsy or anything.
