Are there any antidepressants that don't make you feel like ***? (sensitivity to side effects)

In my experience, pharma meds don't cut the mustard and have weird and horrible side effects. Especially (on me fluoexidine (prozac) and certraline. I really don't like them.

I did however try an "E" back in the late nineties and found one decent rave gave about a week off from being miserable. I've done it about three times, in total over the last thirty years, as I see it as an emergency measure.  

HOWEVER for me an "e" changes me fundamentally, in ways that I don't like, as well as blowing away the blues, so my own personal drug compromise is to dull the pain with Cannabis (especially as cannabis is also an excellent antagonist to the ADD impulse control issue). whilst looking for a more "drug free" solution. 

Mine is not an approved or even legal management strategy, but it seems to work well enough to keep me out of the clutches of  doctors and policemen.

That's what you have to offer?

Violation of community rule number 12 "promoting illegal activity or putting a person at risk" 

I stand corrected and will re-write it.

I'd risk a government prison than my current mind prison. 

Well said I Sperg - I totally agree. Sometimes we are harmed by what’s offered to us by the nhs and we have little choice but to look for alternatives. It’s not that we WANT to, often we simply have to. 

Hi I Sperg - I’m really sorry this person above (Ottilie) was so judgemental and harsh towards you, you don’t deserve that and I’m sorry. This community is a place where people can be open about what has worked (and not worked) for them and it’s done in a supportive way - as you were doing here. I hope this person hasn’t made you feel bad.
