I think you need to talk to one of your parents about how you are feeling. The only person that can decide if you need antidepressants is a psychiatrist. Talk to your parents and see what they think about the situation and then you can go from there. If you don't feel comfortable talking to them you can go to your school counselor or another trusted adult.Or even talk to your sisted. Just talk to someone you know and trust to work through this.

I DONT THINK YOU NEED ANTIDEPRESSANTS!!\nThis is a common problem that is partly to do with your age. It is often termed as "overthinking" or informally "thinking too much".\nYou need to take control of you mind. You can buy books on the subject that will outline excersises you can do to control your mind to stop yourself from thinking too much about the same thing.\nPersonally I have used these excersises and buddhist meditation(look up mindfulness) to help me from thinking too much about the same thing.\nAlso don't worry/focus on this too much; you need to also put it down to being a normal human being. All of us worry before we go to sleep if we have a problem sometimes. This is because its the only quiet time many of us have with it just being us and our mind. Further this isn't always a negative thing either. Its our bodies way of finding solutions, we mull things over, process thoughts, and come to solutions; this helps us to deal with stress.\n\nSo dont panic, you can learn not to overthink. And we all do this to some extent anyway...its actually constructive. But its when this thought process becomes destructive that you need to take action to stop and take control of your mind.

After reading the truth about the origin of anti-depressants, I would do everything but take Zoloft. I have seen too many tragedies due to the mind altering effect of Zoloft. There is no such thing as a happy pill.

Zoloft is also used to treat depression and other illnesses.  I think it would be best to stay out of it all together.  This is the woman that your son chose and the one who makes him happy.

I am currently taking Zoloft (100mg once a day) and I have had nothing but good results. Usually more than 100mg will result in sexual side effects like not being able to orgasm. My depression is under control and am pleased with that.

I've been on Zoloft just over a year.  It has helped a lot with my mild depression symptoms.  I haven't had too many side effects from it.  I'm a lot thirstier, but that's probably good, I didn't drink enough water before.  Some one mentioned sexual side effect;  I haven't really noticed any.  HOpe this helps.

You need to get back to the doctor pretty damn quick.  I was on anti-depressants.  It took about 3 weeks for me to start to feel better, i.e. more positive, wanting to talk to people again, go for a walk etc.  I was on them for quite a long while, they worked for me.  I think you need to change yours, speak to your doctor about all your 'worries, fears, anxieties'  I feel for you, I hope you get the help you need.  Life is for living.

Not addicted but I certainly think about it a lot. haven't experienced it in over six years (No small thanks to Zoloft!) but I don't particularly miss it. Only want it within the context of a loving relationship!

The longest I have gone without my prescription Zoloft was about 72 hours.  \n\nBest suggestion for handling yourself: lots of deep breathing, some meditation, and keeping busy with fun stuff.  The keeping busy with fun stuff kept me distracted while waiting for the doctor and pharmacist to connect and get the prescription refilled... video games (tho' they might make some people more upset), book reading, long soothing showers/baths.  If I caught myself getting a little wound up, I would stop and take a deep breath, remind myself that everything will be alright, and maybe engage in some meditation.\n\nWhen it came to dealing with the "disinterested" nurses and others, I "let myself" get a little manic... a little "over the top" acting... reminding the person why you're calling in the first place... the psych-meds ran out!  LOL  it sometimes gets them moving a little faster or double-checking on the status of things  :)\n\nJust don't froth yourself up so much that you Really upset yourself.  :)\n\nBe patient with yourself :)\n\n...and for getting to sleep at night, try a nice glass of chocolate milk (cold or hot, your preference)... or regular milk if you prefer... it will relax your body (tryptophan) and make you feel emotionally better.  :)

You need to be in therapy. Antidepressants treat the symptoms of depression, not the causes. I have been on anti-depressants and in therapy for years and years. Just now, am I really getting a grip on my thoughts. A therapist (you need to find a good one you can trust) can help you see how distorted your thinking is and give you a different way to look at things. They can be someone that you can talk to about anything at all. They should help you set up an emergency plan for those times when you feel suicidal or wanting to hurt yourself. That plan, you should act on if you start feeling this way. It may include calling a trusted friend, going out into public at a coffee shop or something. Many times it includes calling your therapist and talking to them about it. But at any rate, a therapist is a person who will go to bat for you (or should) and they are a needed tool on anyone's battle against depression.

My advice would be to make an appointment with a therapist (and make sure it's one that is going to actually spend time talking to you, not just prescribe the pills and walk out). Lots of healthy people talk to therapists all the time, even when there's nothing wrong, so you don't have to feel weird about it or anything like that. I still talk to my therapist once a month, even though I'm not really going through depression right now, just because I like to have that lifeline. I like to know that if I do find that I have something important to bring up, I can just call her and set up an appointment. Also, she would be able to tell just from talking to you whether or not you need extra help or medication, and it's hard to diagnose yourself sometimes with these things.

I have been on Zoloft 100mg daily for almost two years.  The only time I have problems is when I forget to take it or get slack because I have been feeling good.  I found out that you have to keep taking it even when you feel great, because if you stop, you feel really rotten and the depression seems worse than ever.  The doctor told me that it is not likely to have to raise my dose, most people do not become "immune" to it, so it is unlikely it will stop working.  If you start having depression start to creep in, talk to your doctor and they can adjust your dose.  Hope this eases your mind a little and remember...Don't sweat the petty stuff & Don't pet the sweaty stuff."
