See a psychiatrist

go and see doctor. depression need to be assessed and evaluated by good doctor in order to get the best working medication for you.

it is just plain stupid to go to pharmacy and buy something without a valid prescription/recommendation from doctor. pharmacist is not qualified to give you medicines for depression.

dogmatil is an anti-psychotic drug, for sure they dont work for depression, unless you are mania.

Sertraline (Zoloft) -
Escitalopram (Lexapro) -
Fluoxetine (Prozac) -
Bupropion (Wellbutrin, Zyban) -
Paroxetine (Paxil) -
Venlafaxine (Effexor) -
Trazodone (Desyrel),
Amitriptyline (Elavil),
Citalopram (Celexa),
Duloxetine (Cymbalta),
Mirtazapine (Remeron),
Nortriptyline (Pamelor),
Imipramine (Tofranil),

choose 1 ^^

do not take any depression pills.
we got a lot of drugs,
what if, they can't cure you even you take all of them.

spend some time and think.
what makes you depress.
i have been through this stage.
Just calm down, chill
Go for a vacation is good.
just some places, not necessary overseas..

Consult a psychiatrist would be the ever best solution. Let's say you manage to get depression pills, it won't work out if you consume wrong dosage. BTW, how old are you? What circumstances caused you to be depressed? Or it is just occured naturally for you?


If you are an introvert person and find difficulties in voice out your problems, you can always try the method of journaling. Certain kinds of written records are able to help people overcome depression. Compile a journal or list out the happy experiences you remember. Describe your most special moments, including beautiful nature scenes, especially close moments with loved ones, fun times, a series of events that you particularly enjoyed, or spiritual experiences.

I know that easier said than done. But always remember that you are not alone. Life is like a movie, what attitude we have reflects the character we act as. When the sun is set, but there is always sunrise in the next day morning.

and take the risk of taking a drug that may bring more harm/risk than benefit.

don't depend on depression pills.... if you have problems go talk/share to your friends and get a hobby... it could help

ok.... do u all guys mean anti depression pills? or depression pills to make u depress??

if u all r talking about anti depression pills, u gotta know it has got many side effects. no good la... plus it's only temporary just like what i saw in one of my friends.

still the best way is to open your heart and pour it all out.

Exercise and sex creates the natural endorphins that's better than pills.

ya if see psychiatrist later u koyak then u lagi depress...

few months ago when i was in depression also i thought of that...
i know it's very bad la... everyday waste time... i go round penang island everyday... don't know for what. then spend money on entertainment which i later regretted. there was never enough. could have use my money more wisely.

yet neither exercise nor natural endorphin can balance or correct the imbalance serotonin, which cause the depression.

though yes, it might help.

plenty of people said they are depressed, but not all are clinically depressed, just that they thought they are depressed, hence keeping themselves low/depressed which is not necessary.

And to think I used to have a prescription for one of these...

doctor once gave me a pill to relax, after much stressed out from work and shits.. and it dont work at all.. say will be able to sleep within an hour.. crap..

y didn't anyone opt for counselling before taking the drugs??

Any social organization does provide counselling service?
