That's why I'm afraid to start taking pills. :c

Same, but my doctor gave them to me and said to give it time.
I just need to get used to the feel of antidepressants.

It'll be okay. A friend of mine was off antidepressants for so long because of how they made him feel... but he's back on them and he's glad for it.

It takes time to readjust as you're aware, and yeah, it sucks for now. We're here for ya, though. :3

I'm just kind of worried because of the way they make me feel. My doctor warned me that they sometimes make things worse and I can't remember if its a common thing or not but im kind of freaking out and i feel all spacey.

if it's a normal thing i'll try not to freak out so much.

Well, you and my IRL friend are the only two people I've known to take them, and what I heard from him is that sometimes it DOES get a little worse before it gets better. If it keeps feeling worse, though, I think your doctor will switch your medications? Which sucks because then you readjust to THAT but .. either way, in the long run, it'll help immensely. I do wish you luck. ;w;

thanks man. idk we'll see if it gets worse or not. I'm honestly surprised its affecting me so much

depends what variety you're on, but it is very possible for it to get a little worse before it got better. way back when i was on fluoxetine i had some pretty rough times with the low mood and all. newer pills tend to be a little easier on the side effects, but even still - luckily, my current pills stabilised my mood and made things okay on that front.

on an unrelated note, do you want money up front for the iron artist thingy? if so, i can send it when i get back home this afternoon.

up to you, though i might be late on work cause i'm trying to get used to things.

I'm on citalopram. it's kind of a jump from the tranquilzers they gave me to fix the panic attacks. the other one was strong but this is subtle but also freaks my mood out. most of the side effects are stomach problems and they have a big label that says that it could cause suicidal thoughts, etc. I guess that's why i'm freaking out cause I'm afraid of it getting that bad.

pretty much every antidepressant carries that warning label - i've been on a few, and they all had it. it's quite unlikely to actually come to a head, though.

Ah okay phew. I only felt depressed on it--minus the anxiety.
Just a lot of mood changes which I'm not used to.

If being creative is what makes you happy and the pills prevent that, then maybe they will make things worse.

If anything, being creative helped stabilize my mood a lot, cause it distracted me to do things rather than mope around. It's just now I'm on pills it feels like I'm moping around feeling nothing than feeling everything all at once.
It just felt nice to draw and vent, but now that I have no emotions to work off of and I don't feel creative, things just really suck..

It's just really hard to concentrate now that I'm on them and I feel like if I feel anything, it just fluctuates.
Idk man, I'll see how it goes when I keep taking them. I'm pretty new to all these meds stuff and hopefully when I visit my doctor he'll say how it goes.
