No, I personally haven't, but I have heard that anti-depressants can actually make some people suicidal.
I think I had some pretty bad anxiety growing up. I remember getting anxiety attacks a lot, and even going to the hospital a couple times. Nothing was wrong with me though. They just said I was having a 'panic attack' and I need to calm down. I was never recommended to take any drugs, and I'm kind of thankful for that because drugs never seem like a very good solution. I still have anxiety about things, but I don't really have anxiety attacks, so you can find other ways to cope.
Yeah, I have also read they can cause suicidality especially in people 24 and under. I'm glad you found other solutions that work for you and you're not having anxiety attacks anymore. I am sorry to hear about you still having anxiety but glad you're able to cope :). I have some anxiety too along with the depression. I've found the drugs to be helpful in me being able to cope personally. Sometimes, I wonder if I could have done it another way, but I've weened off before and always wound up back on. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Anyone take drugs for depression, anxiety or other psychiatric reason?
