do most aspies have to be on antidepressants permanently?

Post Reply New Topic

Tomorrow I will be speaking to my GP regarding the possibility of trying antidepressants again. I have been on and off them for years but I always reach a stage where I no longer see any value in taking them.

The only antidepressant which worked for me was Citalopram but I had been taking it for over 5 months and I was physically active at the time.

I may make an enquiry about Sertraline or Fluoxetine tomorrow, but I am worried that they will cause weight gain and decrease my sex drive even further.

I don't. They have some benefits, but I didn't like the side effects. On the other hand, I'm not depressed nor suicidal, I have OCD, but more pure-O kind, so I can lead a normal life with that.
