I'm too nervous to admit that I have
Depression issues to my family. I think they'll
Just think I'm fishing for attention..I want to tell them
Because lately it's been getting worse and I really want to be treated.
Have any of you went on any type of depression medications
And has it helped you?

Thank you

I was on paxil or zoloft(Don't remember which) in my teens for depression, even though I don't think I was depressed, and it helped a little bit.

I told my mum when I was desperate enough. My mum told my dad. I ended up going to the Dr. I have tried lexapro - (usless for me), celexa - (good), and pristique - (bad side effects for me).

I tried different medications for my depression. All were good too. I only went off them because I felt like I didn't need them anymore. Kind of wish I hadn't have now.. though I think thesedays what I need the most is something for my anxiety. Which, I've never been medicated for (just the depression).
