Probably a good idea to see a doctor and then a psychariatist to prescribe the correct drug for depression.

Frankly, I think popping pills to change your mood is probably a bad idea.

Maybe you could try an angry gym session? Seems to work for me the last time.

The doctor might just give you some relaxant medicine like Xanax or Somese.
Did you ever check with you doctor??

guys stick to the topic, dont *crap* with your unknowledgeable/ignorant (or what you have heard from your granny or friend) comment.

all i could say, go to see the doctor, it is up to the doctor to assess and diagnose if you are depressed or not, and prescribe what suit you if you are depressed. none of us here are qualify to say 'yes, go ahead and take the antidepressant, since you said you are depressed'. assessment is important, and there are numbers of antidepressants working in different mechanism. diff people and condition need specific treatment/antidepressant.

it is all about 'benefit against risk', antidepressant may cause you worse, rather than beneficial.

You'll need a doctor's prescription if you really feel you need to take meds. There are so many different types and different levels of depression and self-medication isn't a good idea. I was prescribed this:

I weaned myself off it eventually. I'd hate to become dependent on drugs to be able to function. Amitrip made me drowsy for the rest of the day even though I took it at night before sleeping. Not a fun feeling at all. It was also to help me with my insomnia.

my 2 cents on this:

there's no quick fix for any medical ailment..
it's advisable to take some time out for a consulation...
furthermore when depression is a psychiatric condition (sorry if i'm too straightforward)

antidepressants shouldn't be used like how you pop Panadols for a fever..
counselling, family support & a caring friend would be better..

good luck!

Talk to someone first maybe? A close friend , relatives , befrienders ? before taking meds ?

i suggest u consult a psychiatrist & follow his/her advice.
