Antidepressants without prescription

Getting antidepressants without a prescription isn’t possible in Germany, since they’re prescription-only meds. That’s mainly because effects, dosage, and possible side effects need to be monitored by a doctor.

What you can get over the counter are herbal alternatives like St. John’s wort or calming supplements. These might help with mild mood swings, but they’re no substitute for proper medical treatment if you’re dealing with depression.

If you’re feeling down for a long time, empty inside, or have no motivation, it’s important to get professional help and not try to self-medicate.
