Anti-Depressants Stole My Poetry

by Lacy D Phillips

I'd actually write a poem instead of just thinking up snappy titles, except that I lost my angst in the bottom of an orange plastic bottle with a safety cap. The thing is, they don't make me happy or even less unhappy. They just make me not care whether I'm happy or not.

Good prose, worthy of that catchy title!

ah, interesting. i read the last two lines as it relates to happiness after writing a poem, though it connects to the anti-depressants you speak of in the title. i enjoyed this.

Life stole mine. Kinda sucks, doesn't it?

i can relate to this, ive been on a few brands which made me a bit listless but the worst just sucked out my entire identity. even if they stole your poetry, this is good prose, it clearly conveys something people can relate to. and i love the title!

Been there, took those; will never take any again. You described the feeling almost too well- Excellent!

Catchy title, Lacy. Fortunately, my orange plastic bottle with the safety cap made it possible for me to have a life again. However, I know it's not that way for everyone.

SSSRI's (anti-depressants) are not designed to make you happy or sad. They're dangerous! I'm living proff of the damage they can cause. I'd rather die than take one again

Forgot to say- I'm not surprised that they stole your creativity- they make you feel so numb.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Every day is a good day with those things. Or at least I think every day is - oh where am I going with this? Mine were horribly zombifying me till they added the adderall - now instead of manic-depressive I am simply manic! Woot! Hang in there girl!
