A new pill for depression is out!!!

[S.J.]

Warning: This drug may make you want to kill yourself.

Ever notice how some drugs may divulge that they may cause thoughts of suicide; but are totally silent on the possibility of causing thoughts of homocide?

That would be the most popular murder defense if they did.

Today I saw on TV an advertisement for a new medication for depression.

Advertised side effect’s:

Nausea
skin flushing
headache
Deira
Vomiting
Swelling of hands/feet
Blurred vision

The above is an actual medication as are the side effects.

Is this for real or was the advertiser just playing a joke?

Anyone seen/read anything similar?

BTW what depressed me the most was reading this post -

just because is it is listed

does not mean those side effects will happen

Who wants to take the chance?

i really think that a lot of depression could be handled with lifestyle changes. Exercising, eating better, etc. And going to therapy to learn how to think about what you are thinking about, etc. Then if that doesnt' work, then add in meds in addition to those things.

Hi there, according to me depression pills provide temporary relief and they are harmful for health.

Suffer from recurring major depression was suicidal and severely depressed for 10 years. If not for finding the right med I would still be fighting myself not to kill myself. Sorry but clinical depression is NOT fixed by lifestyle changes.

The only real cure for depression is a personal relationship with God.

Read what I wrote. I think that there needs to be a multi pronged approach that MAY also include medication. Yes, you need to eat right and exercise and take your meds if you want to really recover and manage in a healthy way. Of course some people need medications. I am not against the use of medications.
