[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 434346, member: 1550"] I am taking an anti-depressant and have been for years. For me, it doesn't mute my feelings at all. It lets me be who I am without the debilitating depression. That is really the only change I have seen. I refuse to take medication that changes who I am. On the other hand, I have tried Ritalin as some doctor thought I had ADHD. I took it once and was flying like anyone else on speed. Then when it wore off, I feel into a horrible depression (which I am prone to) and had trouble pulling out of it. It did not "mute" me at all. Quite the opposite...lol. medications are hit or miss. Stims *can* make a child more aggressive. My son had this reaction to them. He turned mean and aggressive and that's not like him at all. He is now medication free. BUT...my son does not have behavior problems. If my kids were hurting other people or being aggressive, I would feel I'd have to try anything I could to help him have a normal life. [/QUOTE]
