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?

Half of the symptoms that you mentioned that you are suffering is because of the problem you are suffering ! And actually anti depressants are used to counter these problems and if these medicines are taken in proper supervision they can work wonders for you. Please don’t go by what people say just consult a specialist and start your treatment as prescribed

You need to consult a psychiatrist asap and start your meds. Side effect profile varies from patient to patient. When meds are taken under strict supervision, you don’t need to worry.
