Antidepressants

[Spinder]

I've needed these for so long. I've wanted these for so many years now.

But... how do I get my bloody mitts on em? :(

Everyone thinks I'm a liar and nobody belives anything I say, nobody will believe how hard I am trying, how much I want to change, how hard I'm trying to, how much I really have changed these past couple of years.

Maybe if I get me some pills and start being lessed depressed and prone to cussing fits of unhappiness on the internet and can start acting more normal with, people will like me more... :cry:

Please help me I need it so bad... please give me a chance don't turn me away :cry:

calm down dude, double posting won't make this progress go faster. the only legal way to get meds is from a prescription by a doctor. you need to see a psychiatrist who will diagnose you with depression and prescribe anti-depressants.

[Spinder]

My counselor said the psych won't give me meds because they're so convinced that I'm going to pop them all and kill myself, even though that is not true and I have insisted that I will not.

Would my family doctor be able to prescribe them? :(

[CuriousDestruction]

probably, but if the psychiatrist is worried you may kill yourself with them there is another solution. ask your parents to give the pills to you every day. that way it's impossible for you to overdose and you won't forget.

Exactly, if they're worrying you'll kill yourself with them, then the solution isn't to NOT give you any, but regulate it somehow, like CuriousDestruction's suggestion.

I hope so. I'll talk to the family doctor about it :(

Tell them that you'll arrange with your pharmacist to give you the medication weekly, and arrange with your parents to give you the medication daily and to keep them hidden so there is no temptation to take more than necessary.

Anti depressants are actually less lethal to overdose on from what I know, so chances of dying from an overdose on them are not as high.

I'm unsure if your family doctor could prescribe them to you, you could give it a shot if all else fails, but he/she may be informed from your psych not to prescribe them to you.

Ok,though I find this quite the joke I will act seriously...
You can only get happy pills with a perscription,last few posts tell you how...Still.You sure you want to take them?You can easily become addicted,which will later lead to much greater problems,and not just for you,but also for your family and friends.Think about that before you act hastily.Let`s be responsible,ok?

[BeautifulDisaster]

Anti depressants are supposed to be something you take for quite a long while, it takes up to at least 2-4 weeks for them to take any effect, and some people are on them for years.

I'm not sure how addiction can happen, they are drugs to help regulate chemicals in your brain that are off balance, in turn, this will help you, so I don't see how it'd be a problem if you were to become addicted(if that can even happen), it'd just make you happier.

Yes, but physical addiction doesn't really cause problems for anyone but you.

Mental addiction isn't possible.
