How can I find out if antidepressants are the right choice for me? I took them in high school and they didn't seem to do much but it was a low dose and I just remember feeling emotionless, I guess that is better than depression but I don't want to be a zombie or ruin my brain for a negligible benefit. Maybe it's already fucked, is there any way to find out which one is the right one for me without experimenting?

Ask a proffesional, don't self medicate.

seroquel for sleeping
but all antidepressants make you fat i wouldnt reccomend them

Bullshit dude all a professional will do is experiment, that's the whole point of me asking

So, a proffesional will be guessing, but we, a group of random strangers, can tell you what to take? Do you see the flaw in that plan?

See I'm worried about this too, I really need to get in shape and I don't want to be more depressed because the pills make me eat like a dumpster and don't care about anything. That's what they did before.

Other people can actually vouch for the effects where the doctor will just throw whatever at you. Sometimes they don't even listen and give you something for a condition you didn't even mention, like if I tell them I am anxious and they just decide I meant I was depressed because I was calm when I said it.

Yeah, so a stranger with no knowledge of your symptoms AND no background in medicine can tell you what's good for you?
How do we even know you are depressed? A doctor has records and can check on you, we are guessing. Do you have so pre existing conditions or something that might wreck havoc with the pills we tell you to take? We don't know. How much should you take? We don't know.
Come on man, you have to be able to see this is not a good idea.

I just know I have autism and they didn't really do much for me before. I have been saying I'd stop being depressed once my life isn't in the shitter but I'm willing to switch it around and take the meds if they help me cope. I just wish there was a better way to find out if there is anything I can take without trying them first that isn't illegal or won't make me blow up like a house.

Ask a doctor. Ask several doctors if you don't trust a single one. But don't take medication advice from anonymous people online, man.
Even getting some of this pills without a doctors prescription would be illegal. So don't experiment on yourself.

Won't they just say "well if you diet and exercise you probably will be good?" Then I will have to do 2x the work to keep the weight off instead of losing it for half the effort and just being depressed. I know this is gonna be the option I have to take anyway it's just kind of shitty one and that's why I've been drinking and smoking weed since I stopped taking them. Neither seem to help.
