You sure are right about that. I've noticed people usually have a preference when it comes to abusing opioids or meth-amphetamines. They say opioids and heroine are addictive, but even if I had an unlimited supply I couldn't care less. It's like paying good money to take something that puts me to sleep. Forget that, give me access to meth, then you better have a lot of it. But as far as antidepressants go, anyone that does meth or opioids while on taking antidepressants is wasting their time and their doctors time. And any thoughts on how ineffective they are should be taken with a grain of salt. It's been proven that they work for some people. But I highly doubt they will work for people like me who smoke out of a glass pipe every day. In fact I don't see how they would given the fact that I artificially cause my brain to release intense feelings of pleasure every time I take a hit. For certain people that don't do drugs and their depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain... they can work wonders. Any side effects a person has can then be weighed against how effective the drugs are to them.
That's a lot of BS. Why think it's a pharmaceutical company's fault when millions of people go to the doctor to get treated for depression. People are asking for these prescriptions, and then they are prescribed. Anyone taking antidepressants should know that they aren't formulated or created to make you feel good. None of them are. The intention is to restore a person that's having extended periods of depression back to normal,(whatever that may be for them) by correcting the levels of Serotonin or norepinephrine in the brain. If a person's depression isn't caused by an imbalance of either of those, Then they probably won't be of much help. If I want to "feel good" right now, I sure as heck wouldn't expect any help from a pharmaceutical company. Your blame of those companies is misplaced. If nobody ever went to the doctor for depression, their wouldn't be an industry built around treating it.
