Well, in my case, the result of me taking antidepressants was gaining 120lb, stopping leaving the house, and spending hours a day posting on 4chan and jacking off to porn since I no longer cared about the negative emotions such actions would have previously inspired in me. I also felt like I was going crazy when I stopped taking the medecine. The result now is that I'm very high performing in all areas of my life, and I have lost over 120lb and achieved a nornal weight, but I believe that my stint with antidepressants have permanently taken several years off my life span. They also contributed to significant delays in my economic, intellectual, and social development, as they seemed to bring me from relatively poorly functioning (but functioning) human being to out of control explosion of self-destruction and shit. But maybe it's different for older people who take them.
