If you plan on having kids in the future...I wouldn't take them...that might just go for girls though. I'm not too sure. :/

They don't work for everyone, no, but they do work....Or they're supposed to.  It's all about chemical balances, and probably like most other medications you feel worse before the effects start to make you feel better.

But antidepressants DO work for people, again just not everyone.

Yeah considering the only one approved for kids under 18 is Prozac.
Plus I'm pretty much against medicating people under 20.

They do work for me.

Some anti-depressants will increase suicidal thoughts while decreasing depression, to a point. So they may seem like they aren't working until they fully kick in and do what they need to do.

Suicidal thoughts are actually a pretty common side effect for antidepressants. Ironic, no?
