Do antidepressants block psychic ability?

I think so...\n\nI’m a professional psychic and a psychic coach offering lessons on developing psychic abilities. To learn how to develop psychic ability you first need to know how to relax your mind to alpha then you can practice with Tarot Cards, Psychometry, Crystal Ball, Channeling and Mediumship etc.

Well as far as I know they are not allowed to tell your mom anything about what you are taking or what you are doing.  Aside from that you should tell them that you do drink occasionally.  Drinking does have a negative effect on anti-depressants as in it totaly negates the effect the anti-depressant will have on your brain.  Be honest with your dr.  its the only way he/she can help properly.

Yes. \n\nOr if you are taking anti-depressants diarrhea can be a side effect of those.

Hi,\nI'm a Pharmacist.\nThe side effect is very specific, so it's possible that there aren't many people that can identify... BUT, an 'uncontrollable urge to pull your hair out' can be a way that you delt with some of the side effects that can occur. \nAntidepressants alter the neurochemical balance in the brain to help alleviate the symptoms of depression, but the whole picture is still not known. Antidepressant drugs usually target one specific neurochemical, yet many different systems have been implicated in the pathophysiology of depression. Hence, antidepressant use can alleviate depression and/or throw the balance out of whack! Symptoms of mental state changes (eg hypermania, anxiety) can arise. The 'uncontrollable urge to pull your hair out' may be a manifestation of one of these symptoms.\nThe results seen are usually patient specific, and what works in one patient may not work in all.\nIf you find that antidepressants make your situation worse, try some non-pharmacological treatments to help you eg/ behavioural therapy or counseling.\nHope this helps! Goodluck!

This kind of treatment only helps to control the visible expression of depression (behavior), but it does not erase depression. Depressive people have a particular way of thinking, which requires a particular genetic background as well as some vital experiences that sculpted her particular point of view about certain things. Hardly will this change by only taking some medication.  This is a functional problem that has carved its way into the mind's structure. You must learn to cope with it, with or without medication. That is very hard, but not impossible.

Nothing to do with depression and homeopathy..Unfortunately.,if you suffer from OCD( Obssesive Compulssive Disoreder) you need to be patient and the best working SSRI antidepressants in those cases is Venflaxin..Prozak don't give satisfying results on OCD..Also of help is the Cognitive and Group Therapy..Wish you luck!!

you really need to speak to a qualified doctor about this, since two people on the same anti depressant can experience varying degrees of the same side effects or in fact different side effects altogether.\n  I take efexor and it took many years of trying various anti depressants at varying doses before I found one that worked for me and that I suffer little or no side effects with.  The only unpleasant side effect happens if I miss a dose.

Yes there is a link!  But there are studies that link it with being depressed, and those that link say it is antidepressant.

Those anti-depressants can really affect libido and ability to achieve orgasm.  Your doctor may be able to add a small dose of wellbutrin to help that side effect.  I don't think it will necessarily affect your chance of getting pregnant though.

Well first of all, it takes awhile for the meds to kick in sometimes as long as 6-8 wks, I believe ppl want or think that they should be able to see results right away, and when they don't see the results they quit.  My sister has been on several times and only takes them for a bit and then quits - perhaps ppl are scared to be on antidepressants because there is a stigma that they will be labelled as "Crazy".  Which of course is sooooo untrue.  I myself have been on antidepressants for almost 4 year for anxiety and it really helps!!!  And I used to be one of those ppl that said, I will never take fake crap like that to make me feel better......well I guess I looked at the pro's and con's of them and decided that it would be of benefit to me - I am so glad I started, because the panic attacks that I was having were AWEFUL, and were getting worse each time!!!  So for all of you that are debating whether to take these or not - all you can do is try!!  What works for me may not work for you.  Keep in mind it takes awhile for the meds to kick in.

Yes I tried them and I can't see any change, honestly.  For deficiencies vitamins are fine--I take them myself.  But they don't do much of anything to such complex issues like OCD/mood/depression.  Try Lyrica.  It is great for all the above.  I swear by it.  Talk to your doctor.

ABSOLUTELY!\nIt raises serotonin, and in some people (like myself) it causes "Serotonin Syndrome" -- making you feel more depressed and totally soggy.  Any of the SSRI's can do this: Prozac, Effexor, Paxil, Zoloft are all in this class.\n\nAfter 3 years of sleeping my life away -- because I was presumably depressed and the doctor kept increaing my dosage of Effexor or Prozac -- a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner had the sense to take me off that drug...and suddenly I was no longer tired! \n\nGood for you for investigating.\n\nLove & Light!

I currently take cymbalta.  I really think it helps.  The insurance companies don't want to approve it, so it takes staying on top of them.  They want to tell you how much to take, etc.  But if your Dr. talks to them, they will pay.  Now, there have been, because of insurance issues, times that I have been out of my meds.  It only takes about 3 days of not having it to notice the difference.  Depression starts quickly, and I cry about EVERYTHING!  I even woke up in tears, and that is unacceptable to me.  So, in answer to your question, it only takes a couple of days for it to work for me, and no side effects.\nGood luck to you, and I hope it works as well for you.  I take amitriptalyn with it, maybe that helps, too.  Have not tried it without the amitriptalyn.  I take it all at bedtime, that's what my Dr. said, and it seems to help me sleep better, too.  I also take abilify at bedtime.  So, just try it, I hope you have as much luck with it as I have.

They can be, but only for a very small % of people who use them.\n\nI personally have been on Lexapro for almost a month now and there have been no side effects, including addiction, plus they have made my depression bearable unlike it was before taking the meds.\n\nEven with the relative success of some medications, you (as a depressed person) should try cognitive behavioral therapy 1st, along with alternative medicine which can help as much as medications for some people, but without the side effects and need for long-term use.\n\nYou must get to the root of your depression by talking to a professional psychiatrist weekly before doing anything else, so that you can find out more easily which form if treatment would be best for you.\n\nLastly, don't worry about doctor bills for your treatment or medication, because if you have a mental illness and less than $1000 in any bank account, you will most likely qualify for Medicaid, which would pay your medical bills for you, so contact your county Department of Job and Family Services and see if you can qualify for Medicaid (make sure you have less than $1000 in any bank account 1st).\n\nGod bless you and heal you.

Yes, if your relative was not diagnosed correctly, there are anti-depressants which can cause hallucinations for people with particular disorders. I would trust no one except a psychiatrist to do an evaluation now.

Just a guess: psychotropic, Mood Altering, and anti-depressants?

Mixing anti depression meds is never a good idea.  Make sure it's okay with your doctor before you take Welbutrin and Lexapro.  Lexapro is a good drug though, just don't mix it with other good drugs ;)
