Hidden among the 100s of Trump derangement threads is this one about actual derangement. I've only posted responses from those who are medicated.

Would anyone please tell me their experiences with Zoloft?
I feel I really need it, but it scares me.
It's not that they have issues, it's the fact that they seem sooo proud of it and are willing to discuss it on a public forum.

59. The truth for me...
everyone's system is different.
I started out in 1992 taking disipramine. after weeks it worked well.
It worked for 6 years,then it sort of crashed i got depressed again.
They looked for something else.
My son had been on Zoloft for 10 years and after trying 3 or 4 other drugs the told me if a first
degree relative had success with it , I had a good chance as well....
Self admitted to issues and yet fully able to school everyone else on what is good and right.

2. I know...
I've taken paxil and I even have some stronger stuff I've taken (xanax). Makes me feel like I'm moving through water. Might want to take 1/2 dose.
I might add that this is in the general discussion section, not the mental ward.

65. The SSRIs, including Zoloft, have a black box warning
The FDA expanded its public health advisory to include anyone 24 or younger. In 2007, the FDA took a stronger stance, requiring manufacturers of SSRI antidepressants to update the black-box warnings about the higher risks of suicidal thoughts and behavior during the first one to two months of treatment.
I've been taking antidepressants on and off (mostly on) for 40 years. I would probably be dead without them. I have taken just about every SSRI out there, as well as others in combination. Most work for a while, sometimes years, then start to lose their efficacy. But that's just me....

76. same here
I was taking this crap and I was going to kill myself.
Luckily, I had the sense to quit taking it.
Suicide is one of the "side effects".

6. Depends on what ails you
Zoloft is the go-to for depression and/or anxiety, and is supposed to have the fewest side effects. When I took it for anxiety I gained a lot of weight, but felt better. Now I'm on celexa which works better with fewer side effects. For depression only, look into wellbutrin. Hubby has been on that for years now. No side effects at all.

21. How long ago was that?
In the last the ten years or so, they've made it cleaner. I'm not sure how, but when I first started taking it about 15 years ago, it killed my appetite (not nessarily a bad thing), but it also made me very angry.
What we are creating is a comprehensive list of medicated DUmmies

13. Not with Zoloft but with other anti-depressants.
I didn't do well on Prozac. Been on Celexa (citalopram) for years now and swear by it. Admittedly, I take a smaller dose than what's prescribed and only go up to a full dose when I feel like I'm breaking through. I used to take it for the anti-anxiety effects, although lately I can tell I'd be depressed without it. Good luck. I predict there's going to be a huge increase in all anti-depressants starting this month.

Considering the looks of most women-things on the left, if I were a lefty, I wouldn't need medication to make me impotent.
Just sayin...

When one admits to crapping herself in front of a classroom of kids, listening to others talk about their mental defects just doesn't seem like a big deal.

I saw that campfire and considered rowing it over, but it was still growing at the time.
Invest in pharmaceuticals!

But BattleHymn's investment advice holds true, because mind-altering pharmaceuticals are the first, second, third . . . and last option for the primitives.

As it has been said, if you seriously post at the DUmp and are not a mole, you should never be able to buy a gun. Even a fully automatic revolver.

It's going to be a great four years as more primitives discover one of the pillars of primitivity.
Primitives have pillars of primitivity, just like MOOOOOSLIMS have pillars of islam. One of those pillars is pills; more specifically, "Find a pill, eat a pill."
Don't believe me?

A great use for your empty Rx bottles - especially those with child proof caps
"While first world nations throw away perfectly good medicine bottles, medical pharmacies and hospital facilities in Malawi often find themselves with nothing except torn pieces of paper in which to wrap medicine for their patients. This is often seen in rural hospitals and villages where the poorest of the nation try to live and survive. You can help to change this.
Save up a group of your containers when you have completed that portion of your prescription. Place them in boiling water until you are able to easily remove the labels, and the glue. Then box or bag them and send them to the Malawi Project for shipment to Malawi.
It will help families in a third world country keep their medicines clean, out of reach of small children, and safe while they are being used."

The first post in this thread had 13 different DUmmies on anti-depressants. Trump's got 3 years and 364 days left. I think the invest in pharmaceuticals idea might be good advise. Might put a little into razor blades also in case they can't get the meds. :)
