Antidepressants

Does anyone find antidepressants help? If so which ones?

I've never had antidepressants, but as a late diagnosed adult, I wonder if perhaps they could have helped me in the past.

Your thoughts as ever appreciated

  • I’m coming off sertraline. 50 mg was ok, helped a little bit with depression (not anxiety though) but I still had suicidal thoughts on 50 mg so I increased the dose to 100 mg and it was awful: brain fog, couldn’t concentrate, feeling sleepy. So I went back to 50 mg (and now I’m on 25 mg, planning to stop taking it in 2-3 weeks)
