Am i normal if i take antipsychotics and antidepressants?

Would people consider me as weird or any different if they knew what meds i am on? It's sometimes obvious but will they think of me like i'm weak and delusional?

Is It Normal?
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

  • Mental illness is extremely common. People just don't talk about it much. So yeah, normal.

  • I'm legitimately on seven different medications, three of them alone are antidepressants/antipsychotics. I have been on some of them for years.

    It is totally normal.
    Um. I mean, I think it is. Or, I hope it is, for our sake.

    You're not alone.

  • I don't think you need to tell people what sort of medication you are taking. You have the right to your privacy, there's no need to share your personal information with other people; it should be on a need to know basis.

  • I've been very anti anti-depressants after a bad experience on Prozac more than 20 years ago when I got on such a high I sold my house, gave a lot of the money away and blew the rest, which has left me facing homelessness in old age.

    Very recently after a series of crises close together and then a stress induced near fatal heart attack my doctor prescribed me a low dose Mirtazapine, which is mainly anti anxiety with a mild sedative and mild anti depressant. No side effects except feeling a bit floaty and increased appetite: in fact, it feels a lot as if I'm stoned and it's legal so I don't have to worry about being caught driving with any trace of cookie in my system.

  • Others will disagree. IT IS NORMAL TO BE A SAD HUMAN. Our emotions go to indescribable depths. I think people should get over this FACT of life. I'm sorry, it's sad. You should get off drugs and find other avenues.

    • Being sad is normal. Being depressed, etc is a chemical imbalance.

      It's no different than treating a physical illness.

    • Im assuming if he has psychosis that is a pretty valid reason to be taking medications no? I get your point on anti depressants though

  • Self medication usually works better than whatever the doctor's going to give you.

    • I agree with you 100% but that leads to a shitty life because those drugs are expensive and illegal. The one drug that made all my problems go away was oxycodone. Nothing helped me like that did. Even if I didn't take a lot it worked better than the xanax or the prozac. Doctors say they wont prescribe oxycodone foe depression because their doctor commandments say its only for pain.

          • Yeah spores are totally legal to buy in my state, I kind of have too much dust and mold in my current living situation though to where I'd trust pulling it off without contaminating them.
