Has anyone taken antidepressants for their entire life or for more than 10 years?

@Mikey Hi Mikey I am nearly to that magic number and many of us would have reached it and beyond. It would be very common with some mi's to have to take anti depressants and other medications for the whole of their lives. Nothing strange about it. Take care pea.

Hi @Mikey

I’ve been on AD and mood stabilisers for 10 years. Diagnosed with depression anxiety cptsd and BPD.

Have you recently started taking them?

Hmm.. Interesting. The psychiatrist has told me to at least take antidepressants for 1 year.

I want to make sure anyway possible that I never get anxiety n depression again. So I might consider taking them for my entire life.

Yes i started taking them on 12th April 2019 and have been diagnosed with Generalised Anxiety Disorder (developing). I had panic attacks this year for the first time and also had depression for 3 months.

I've had depression and and anxiety for 3 months in 2018 and also from 15 months in 2014 and 2015.

I will do anything to ensure that I retain and focus on my health. That's why I am asking around
