there is also one huge misconception concerning these drugs: They do not make us happy.
There is no happy pill (or at least a legal one). like lurkette said with Paxel, it hates more with chemical stability and she seems to be saying something similiar to myself.
after i gave in and started medicating and talking to friends i started 'waking up' and seeing how i had quit doing Fun Activities. i thought to myself 'reading is boring, the net is boring, games are starting to bore me... life is boring me.' i realized that that was a dangerous thought and and alien one. so i forced myself to re-introduce myself to my old hobbies.
i enjoyed them!
it was as if i were punishing myself without realizing it and simply ruining all hope for fun.
if Zoloft had to make me not be depressed then yeah i'd say it failed. it can help, not cure.
after taking Zoloft i simply started thinking more clearly and my thoughts were less dire. the rest is up to me. and it should be. our lives would suck if we could take a pill and be happy. we'de turn into sheep in a heartbeat.
wtf is an SSRI?
