Re: Depression Pills for teens? [and how to ask your doctor?] - January 25th 2011, 08:39 AM

Hello there, as someone said above, some of the antidepressants are known to cause problems (some severe) so they are prescribed with caution. Even then, teens and young adults are given the 'weaker' ones I believe rather than the ones intended for fully grown adults. There's no non prescription ones I can think of so I would advise going to a therapist to see if you get approved, which will allow you to get you're prescribed medications from a doctor. The dosage I'm not really sure so I don't want to give you false information. I do know it's taken with caution as overdoses can be harmful so expect few amounts.
