Mandilur PLEASE for the love of god !!!!!!!!

Pal, do NOT take anti-depressants over the counter !!

It is not a cold or flu med.

If you take it and stop it, you will have some serious problems, and more depression could be the result if you stop them after a time. It should only be administered under the guidance of a Psychiatrist. Also withdrawal symptoms could pose a serious problem. Also there are other helps, like talk therapy and group support. Not only drugs. These Anti Depressants contain something call Selective Serotinine Reuptake Inhibitors. So it plays around with the neorons of the brain.

Be well

There are a few therapists in Qatar if you are looking for counseling. If you go to a physician/psychiatrist he/she will probably offer an anti-depressant. Prozac is available over the counter at any pharmancy here. Perhaps a three-week trial?
