Pro's :
- Make you feel happy at times (whether you want to be or not)
- Balances things out so your moods should be somewhat normal
- May make you feel alittle better about yourself

Con's:
- Some pills make you suicidal
- Can sometimes gain weight from them
- Accidental overdose (if your really upset and dont notice what you're doing)
- If you have suicidal thoughts more and don't tell anyone you may attempt suicide by OD
- Some make your moods bounce and it becomes frustrating
- Cause effects (such as sleeping problems I e: nightmares, dry mouth, upset stomach ect)
- In the beginning you can sometimes feel quite sick
- Yucky taste (mine never tasted good and I couldnt get the grossness out of my mouth after)

There's many many more Up's Down's to anti-depressants.

ah man, I could list so many...
fatigue, increased thoughts and attempts of suicide (both on and off the medication), they may actually cause more depression, hopelessness, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach aches, headaches, lack of focus. They really mess you up

Pro's- giving you your life back. Feeling normal again.
Con's- some side effects but for me the pro;s so far outweigh the con's.
