Thread Name: BS: Chemical antidepressants -- yea or nay?
Subject: RE: BS: Chemical antidepressants -- yea or nay?
I talked to a friend who said Prozac did nothing for him. Didn't make him sick, but didn't help him either. He has better results with Paxil, but it gives him those Lackanooky Blues. (which isn't a big deal, he is single and doesn't date much - his mental situation is usually too much for anyone to put up with for very long)

My mother seems to have had good luck with Prozac - however, I do not discuss these sorts of things with her. Don't ask. Long story. I would have talked to my father but he died a few years back.

Another friend has had good luck with Zoloft.

Anyhow - I am going to the doctor next week, and we'll talk about it. Thankfully this is someone I have seen for awhile, and I trust her very much.
