THIS IS URGENT , AS THE TITLE IMPLIES
not really. sort of.
i've been feeling pretty awful lately.. looots of low points. i'm just down so much. other than today i can't remember the last time i was feeling especially well.
i stopped taking my anti-depressants last year because of the gelatin in the capsules.. ick (that and i wanted to drink)
i still have 3 refills of my cymbalta but i'm not consuming gelatin :(
so i'm wondering what depression/anxiety medications you lovely vegans are taking?
When it comes to your medication, take it! Even if you get non-gelatin caps, chances are your medication was tested on animals at some point in time, even the entire science of psychology/pscyhiatry/neurology has used animal testing. You do more for yourself and for the animals when you're not depressed and when you're in a better frame of mind.
dude yes take wellbutrin in the morning, especially if you have sleeping issues. i cannot deal with any of the AD meds... they always try to prescribe them to me since I have anxiety issues but no thanks...i feel cracked out
i hardly even take my xanax (which you shouldn't be taking everyday) and only when i know i will be/ am in a super stressful situation, to avoid freaking out

yeah, animal testing... sad truth. there's no way around that BUT if i can help, i don't want to put dead animal parts in my body. PERIOD.
and i don't have to. so why should i?

i take it around 10:30/11am and so far i haven't noticed that much of a difference. i've been taking it for over a week now. last night was the first time i actually felt cracked out. it came out of no where..i just got super fucking excited, my body was like shaking, my nerves were fucked. but i kinda liked it to be honest! it's a complete 180 from how i feel 99% of the time. then after an hour or two my mind and body settled down and i was able to fall asleep.
one thing i have noticed is that the meds suppress my appetite. i had half an avocado for breakfast and i was FULL. i've lost 5 lbs since i've been on it ;)b
