Antidepressants dangerous side effects
I am suffering from severe depression due to some personal problems. Getting suicidal thoughts especially in the night. Still I am scared to take antidepressants because I heard side effects are very dangerous. The potential emerging side effects are nothing short of horrifying, from suppressed libido, sexual dysfunction, insomnia, migraine, weight gain, and blood sugar imbalances to risk of violent, irrational behavior and suicidal tendency etc. What is the alternative for me. Should I try homeopathy or Ayurveda? Are they really effective?
