I am sure there's anti-depression pills right? But how to get one? Do we have to see doctor, then he'll write the prescription and then we go buy at pharmacy?
Those with experience or have the knowledge, please share.

Thanx!

u depress kah ?

better ask prescription from the Doc first

you need to seek for the doctor as most of the pill you mentioned contains drug to make yourself calm down or become "more happy".

aduii, pity lar if so depress until have to resort to pills

u can make appointment with doctor at hospitals (preferably those general hospital but need to wait long).. he'll give u depends on what condition u're having..

try zoloft. i think u need a prescription for it in malaysia

there are few anti-depressant drug available in msia
and most of them is A list drug (prescribed by psychiatrist only)
but,there is one brand , luvox iianm that can be prescribed by medical officer

go and check ur mental status at nearby health centre,dont self-diagnose yourself

depression is the most under diagnosed disease. there's no harm in taking treatment for it.

Define depression?

depression is also known as major depressive disorder
it's a syndrome and can't be defined by one symptom only

diagnosing mental illness is based on icd system
(international statistical classification of disease)

and in this case,we need to consider a set of symptoms and its duration

so TS,u might be having one,or maybe u just don't

dont be presumptive and dont medicate urself

what is the adverse side effect of having the anti-depression drugs? if there is, there is a possibility to harm.

prozac ok oso but need to see doc first....btw the side effect differs some may have withdrawal symptom such as suicidal tendency...

some irresponsible pharmacy will sell it to you...i know of one in petaling street that does that

The drugs will not help in the long term.

Better find some other way of handling yr stress. Eg holiday. exercise etc.....

u need a prescription of that and not all doctor can prescribe it. i think only psychiatrist

drugs can provide temporary solace but to get away from depression a change of lifestyle is needed

if you weigh the pros and cons, taking anti-depression is certainly better. most of the time it has some sedative effect, giving you a good maintenance of sleep, nowadays we are giving ssri - selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors with little side effects only.

It's called


Sunlight and Exercise.

before prescribing the drugs, why wouldn't pharmacists and doctors advise patients on lifestyle changes and nutritional? Are they assuming patients couldn't get well with these methods and straight away giving the last resorts - drugs to them? If drugs is prescribed, have the patients been notified about the side effects? Hope to get optimistic respond.

i am not sure SSRI is the 5-HT drug - the active compound in Prozac,
but Prozac has also been known to affect nearly every system of the body, including the nervous, digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and urogenital systems, and the skin and appendages. These side effect include, most commonly, visual disturbances, palpitations, mania/hypomania, tremors, symptoms of flu, cardiac arrhythmia, back pain, rashes, sweating, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and loss of sex drive.
Less Common effects include antisocial behavior, double vision, memory loss, cataracts or glaucoma, asthma, arthritis, osteoporosis, stomach bleeding, kidney inflammation, and impotence.
