Question by werqwed: Does anyone here take psych meds and how do they work for you?
I’ve been feeling kinda depressed lately, I’m dealing with some permanent injuries that have come on within the past 2 years and am losing my zest for life. I’ve been thinking about trying some psych meds and was looking to get some input from different people on what they take and what kind of changes did it make after you started taking it.

Best answer:
