are you happy with your anti depressants?

What are you taking? (Prozac, Ativan and Vistaril)

Are you having any negative side effects?

Reason: Before I talk to my doctor about changing my meds, I want to get an idea from folks about what these 3 things to for them.

Is there something else you're taking you can recommend?

    Humor and laughter are my anti-depressants.

    My primary care physician now has me on Paroxetine (generic for Paxil). I am taking 20 mg in the a.m. and 20 mg at night and have been for several months. Apparently it is about as good as anything else I have taken. My most effective medication, though, seems to be my "wacky" sense of humor which a lot of people don't understand due to the fact that I have had some serious illnesses together with family illnesses and deaths. A good positive attitude goes a long, long way. I wish you the best of luck with any route you take.

    If I could ever get to a doctor here I miss my anti depressants. They made me feel so much better, Restoril, Xanax, Ativan. Somas too. Now, I don't have any. No wonder I am so whacky now. I may get to see a doctor soon. I can't even handle Prozac. It has such a negative reaction on me, I just curl up in a little ball....scary!!!!

    Prozac and xanax... Either way it's good for you depending on the situation or the "State" of you....

    No, and I'm terribly depressed over it.
