What could happen if a person not a depression patient administered an
antidepressant, for any reason ? What could happen if a person not a depression patient administered an antidepressant, for any reason ?
May it affect his mental health badly ?
May tolerance occur ?
May addiction occur ? or negative feedback to decrease Serotonin receptors ?
Or any other matter ?
Nothing would happen, anti depressants get the levels of serotonin even so u feel normal, so if u took it and are not depressed it would only keep your levels there so wouldnt have any effect. I am over depression years but I still take the meds, thats the same as a "normal" person taking them
For most of the antidepressants developed in the last 20 years, not much would happen except the drug's normal side effects. Serotonin toxicity was mentioned above, but it's extremely rare -- the chances of toxicity from a standard dose of a single antidepressant is almost negligible.
The only notable effect would be that you become susceptible to interactions between the antidepressant and other medications. This is very dangerous for older meds such as MAOIs. It's less of a concern for SSRIs, but there's no reason to risk it for no benefit.
why would you want to take an antidepressant if you're not depressed?
obviously it will affect your brain.
it will damage it severely. if you do not have any mental health issues, you have a chemical balance. psych drugs balance the chemical imbalance. so it's not wise if you have a chemical balance to take psych drugs.
