Forums - General - Antidepressants almost ended my life; I was seeing things that weren't there

My cousin also had anxiety attacks before and the so-called experts also gave anti-depressants and he became more depress, literally! He was so hook at the medicine that I had to intervene twice to get him straight up. Thank God he listened and went back to Church and playing Basketball again.

So yeah it doesn't matter if the meds is prescribed or not, anti-depressants are like legal meth which has the same devastating effect on a person. Its better to focus on doing something like sports for example.

I'm sure that every person has dealt with some sort of depression or anxiety at least once in their life. But I have a long history of depression which I don't want to talk about it too much because the less I do the better it. But I must share this story because it made me a better/smarter person and also because I do not want others to make the same mistake as I did. 

A few months ago, I was extremely depressed I felt like my whole life was turned upside down. Thus I decided to buy a bottle of antidepressants online based on good reviews. (No I did not have permission from my doctor) I was taking them everyday as instructed. After about I would say a week, I started feeling so much worse. I wanted to throw up, I was constantly dizzy. I would randomly wake up in the middle of the night, the TV would turn on on its own and the lights in my room would turn on on its own. The weirdest thing that happened to me was when I was at school one day I wanted to throw up because I was feeling so bad. During my math class a bald man was standing by the door his face pointed at our class he was staring right at me and pointed his finger at me with a very angry look on his face. He was bald, had yellow teeth, and had a black leather jacket on. That really scared me. That same night before going to bed I went to drink a glass of milk in the kitchen some body yelled "Help me god damn it!" it freaked me out. I thought i was my half-brother trying to pull a prank on me but he was sleeping. Everyone was sleeping except for me. Finally I came to my senses and visited my doctor.He did a blood test to see what was in my system. After which he told me this isn't no antidepressants he didn't believe my story, He said "it's best if you tell me the truth who sold you this medicine? I will not contact the authorities". I insisted that I was telling the truth he said then stop taking them. And he was right of course i stopped taking them and things went back to normal. 

The crazy thing is that the reason why I didn't get off the medicine earlier was because I thought i was seeing things because I wasn't taking enough of it so i began to take 2 pills instead of 1 a day. That made it even wrose which lead me to go see my doctor.

Has anyone here every dealt with something similar? Also my advice is that if you are depressed do not buy things online make sure you ask you doctor first.

which one was it?  

What do you mean?


there are many different anti-depressants with a few different "classes"..   what is its name/chemical compound?   Ive been on alot

edit:  The symptoms you are describing sound closer to that of an anti-psychotic  when taken by someone who doesnt need it

Exactly. So it wasn't a true anti-depressant that FattyDingDong took, although doctors often use anti-psychotic drugs on depression too nowaydays.

I know a person whose dad committed suicide while on anti-depressants. He too was hallucinating. I don't think he self-prescribed though.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I was starting to have panic attacks like crazy for some reason about 2 years ago and ended up going to the doc because it was so bad and got prescribed an antidepressant(I think it was a generic zoloft brand) but after about 1 year I just took myself off of them(maybe not the best idea) and it worked out in the end.

Sorry to hear about it but it sounds like a wrong "med"

NEVER EVER EVER self prescribe any antideressant, anti-anxiety, or anti psychotic meds.   EVER.    There are tons of them out there, and which one works best for each person can wildly vary.   You can also have some wild interactions not just with other medications, but also with foods you eat.  You need to see a doctor and go through them 1 at a time, and he may have an idea of which ones are best suited for you.   I was on 10 different medications before we settled upon my current ones which work great and dont interact with my other main medication


To go along with that...NEVER EVER buy your medications online.  You just do not know what you're getting.

Anxiety is a learned response.  Medication isn't the way to overcome a learned response, addressing the anxiety inducing experience is.
