Forgetting to Take Medication: Experiencing Side Effects?

If I miss my meds more than once in a week I usually get extremely depressed. It's definitely typical when you forget to take them

that just sounds like withdrawal to me. very common if you stop taking your medication abruptly. like haliz said, antidepressants are a drug. your body becomes dependent on them after consistent use. though that isn't necessarily a bad thing, as the benefits of antidepressants can outweigh negative effects from dependency. unlike street/recreational drugs, though, it's quite easy to stop taking the medication and avoid withdrawal altogether when you and your doctor feel you're ready. weaning the dose down gradually typically doesn't result in withdrawal in my experience.

Medication is a drug. It messes with ur body and brain just like illegal drugs. U get addicted

For me when I forget to take mine non of that happens to me it maybe what they gave you or it could be something else
