Anti-depressants vs. painkillers...?


Question:
Why is it when I take painkillers I feel more normal than if I take my anti-depressants, i.e.: Prozac, etc.?

Answers:
pain killers work on your dopamine center. Which is your pleasure center. They can make you fell less depressed however over time you will need more of the drug to get the same felling and then you will not be able to get the feeling at all. Once you have burned out your dopamine center you can not fix it which could lead to life long depression.
First of all, were you diagnosed by a doctor? What type of painkillers and how many do you take. Maybe prozac is not the right type of anti depressant. Ask for Paxil. It is wonderful.
