Can antidepressants make you feel more depressed?
Is it possible for antidepressants to make a person feel even more depressed?

I've been depressed lately and was prescribed some antidepressant medication and after taking the medication it seems like my depression is worse than before taking the antidepressant medication?

Is it possible that the antidepressant meds are making me more depressed?

Yes antidepressants can cause one to feel depressed. I've seen antidepressants advertised in magazines and they state that a side effect can be depressions.
Kind of bad. A medicine that is supposed to prevent depression can cause depression and suicidal thoughts.
