Some side effects can be serious. The following symptoms are uncommon, but if you experience any of them, call your doctor immediately:
- shortness of breath
- seizures
- seeing things or hearing voices that do not exist (hallucinating)
- severe skin rash
- yellowing of the skin or eyes
- DEPRESSION <-------------
- memory problems
- confusion
- problems with speech
- unusual changes in behavior or mood
- thinking about harming or killing yourself or trying to do so
- problems with coordination or balance
So if your already depressed and were depressed before but feel depressed after taking Xanax or an anti depressant, you should contact the doctor that already gave you the pills?
If they're already depressed, feeling depressed isn't exactly going to be a big surprise.
Yeah I know that, it says the same crap on the side of my meds box. I just think it makes no sense that if a person is depressed to tell the doctor that already knows they are depressed that they feel depressed... How are you meant to differentiate between a chemical depression or a natural depression, when depressed?
Actually, after writing that it's no fucking wonder, I'm surprised we're all not crazy. ._.
I figured it meant a different kind of depression... such as stronger, or perhaps a scarier feeling to it.
Plus there's the addendum about suicidal thoughts. There's some medical thought that anti-depressants could actually encourage suicide. The idea is that the patient is originally too depressed to get the motivation to kill themselves... until they got on medication, whereupon they may gain enough motivation and energy to go through with it.
Also, if you're still depressed on medication it could be a sign that it's not working. With behavioral medications, finding the right one and the right dosage can be a bit trial-and-error, even now.

It means if you feel more depressed.
I figured it meant a different kind of depression... such as stronger, or perhaps a scarier feeling to it.
