A: of course it will. meds are given for a reason. especially antidepressants. the chemicals released from the pills are to make up for chemicals that your body produces naturally. in cases where a dr. gives you these meds it is b/c your body is no producing them properly. so the pills are doing what your body is already doing. the question you should ask yourself is why are you taking pills you do not need.
