Talk:Antidepressants

Anti depressants are fucking awful. They come with a host of side effects and actually *getting off* them can lead to extreme withdrawals and suicidal tendencies.

There's also one of the most prescribed medications for adolescents: Adderall. 80% of all Adderall ODs are children btw. Extremely dangerous, but used to treat adolescents because it's easier to just medicate them to teach them coping strategies. I started taking Adderall at 6 too so they're subjecting near toddlers to this one.

Let's also not forget Xanax (and other benzos) tho. That's *also* prescribed to adolescents and it's one of the most addictive anti anxiety medications we know of and is extremely easy to od on.

Oh and let's not forget levothyroxin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen.
