I do not trust any ads. I would run any questions about medication by your doctor.

SandwichEater128, please consult your doctor with symptoms before self diagnosis.

Thank you Annieheart for sharing your ad vice on here to SandwichEater. I too agree with you Annieheart, SandwichEater128 shouldn’t trust any ad but instead should run concerns, questions and interest to his doctor.

You can some reserch yourself. Get the med names and look up on the computer. All meds should have some side effects. The med I am taking is making me gain weight. That affects my health and my look. So this is important.

Medication for depression and other mental health related problems are prescribed based on symptoms and other factors. Its dangerous to self medicate yourself with a medication you saw in an online ad. Only a doctor/ psychiatrist can determine a proper dosage amount and most importantly if you actually need to be medicated or not. Not everyone with depression needs medication. For example, i was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder when i was a teenager. Im in my 40s now and i have never needed medication for it. But someone else with MDD might need it. You can't determine that yourself. Only a doctor/psychiatrist can determine that. Also, a lot of times dosages have to be changed because they may be too strong or too weak or not needed at all. Its best to just see a therapist and discuss this with them. Self diagnosing yourself can lead to serious problems. Always speak with a doctor or therapist if you have questions and or concerns about your mental health.
