I'd really like an antidepressant that actually worked for me.
The weird thing is, everything I've tried so far has not only had minor effects, but practically no side effects either (some tendency to gain weight that goes away with a small adjustment to my diet, and I sweat a bit more which has actually cleared up my skin).

- tata71 5y agoHave you tried cannabis products? No strikeouts for CBD in my network for stress/anxiety.

- tata71 5y agoIt wasn't clear which purpose you were looking for the antidepressants. (They're prescribed for all of the above!) Anyway, CBD gummies or oil are worth the shot. I hope you find exactly what you need. You deserve it.
- webmaven 5y agoDepression. That said, I have a grab-bag of symptoms that isn't entirely typical. On the one hand I don't get any suicidal ideation, on the other depressed episodes seem to feature an actual lowering of IQ. Other than that, the usual lethargy, anhedonia, etc. that most people associate with depression. At best, antidepressants (at the maximum prescribed dose) make it possible to get up and trudge through the day somehow. Most don't seem to even do that much. A couple I've tried immediately gave me night terrors so I couldn't really try them long enough to see whether there was any therapeutic effect.
