Comment on Ask HN: Do you take anti-depressants?

Comments

I've taken them a couple of times, an overall positive experience.

Definitely go see a doctor, just getting a pamphlet that totally described what I was feeling made me feel better, as it became obvious that it's a normal human thing.

I'd recommend exercise, sleep, spending time with friends/family and CBT as good general solutions, I also like propanalol for dealing with anxiety.

As far as I could tell, the science is ambivalent on SSRIs, but I liked the way they made me feel, and the daily pill was a reminder to myself to go easy on myself as I was I'll.
