depression
does anyone know anything about celexa? for depression I have been on wellbution 300 mg lexapro paxil ... i can't find anything that continues to work for my depression. It seems to work for a little while and then stops. Or maybe it's just me? my diagnosis is bipolar 2 although sometimes I think it's bipolar1 with depression. I never have any energy and i feel trapped in my house. I am very antisocial. I don't want to be. I just cant help it .
i still have a prescription for tramadol (50mb) - i dont take it everyday but it really helps when im feeling stressed
is it unreasonable to ask for tramadol as an anti-depressant\anti-anxiety medication. from what ive been reading about tramadol is that its only prescribed for pain - would a doctor prescribe this medication for my condition? I really dont want to take anything else.
Being on Pristiq and Zyprexa has kept my depression in check, but I have low energy and no motivation to do anything. Any ideas as to how to get my energy and motivation back?
Why was your mother prescribed this medication? It is prescribed for many reasons, high blood pressure, anxiety, cluster headaches, and tremors. It does have a break-in period, and low energy, and sleepiness are part of the break-in period, which can take up to 6 weeks. I have never heard of it being prescribed for depression, but rather anxiety. I think she needs to return to her doctor to re-evaluate this medication.
Hi, its me again sorry to bother everyone, but, I have been very very depressed over the past few months, as you all know I have the missed heart beats and so on, I have been seeing a pshychiatrist for the depression, doc has just changed my medication from Avanza to 'Cymbalta' has anyone heard of this drug, he said it would be very safe, but I dont know how it will effect my ever ectopic heart.
People,don't lose faith,depression can be treated with the right therapy and the right medications,it's a question of finding the right meds for your depression,it's trial and error until you find the right one or combination and then life can become so much easier.Always consult your doctor when coming off meds and don't stop cold turkey because the withdrawl symptoms can be shocking.Don't ever think you're alone either because you're not.
yeah crying at the drop of a hat and for no reason is a sign of depression, other symtoms are low or no motivation, low energy, either sleeping too much, waking early and not being able to get back to sleep or constant broken sleep, mood swings, apathy, taking too slow with slow movements, thoughts of suicide or hurting another person....lack of personal care and household care.....
For the last 13 years I have taken varying prescribed doses of Levothyrox/thyroxine for hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Throughout that time, although blood tests have varied from time to time and dosage adjusted accordingly, I have rarely felt totally 'well' ; symptoms usually are a mixture (sometimes all) of the usual - fatigue, mild depression, weight gain, cold intolerance, insomnia, thinning hair, etc.etc.
I've been having back pain recently which stems from something that I have had since I was a kid, although it seems to be getting worse as I get older. What will happen is that the pain will start in my back then move down my legs. Sometimes it hurts so bad that I can hardly walk. I've been to the doctors many times, but they can never pinpoint what is causing it.
Anyway, the doctor recently prescribed Tramadol for the pain.
I am wondering if you are seeing a Medical Doctor or Therapist for your depression and anxiety. A healthy diet certainly can make your body
run smoother but if you do suffer from the dual diagnosis of depression/anxiety first you must get together a treatment plan that in many cases will include a well balanced diet.
You do ask about staying motivated and I have found that depression drowns motivation in most cases.
I've been taking Wellbutrin 150mg XL once a day for over 2 weeks and while I'm fine in the morning, the depression sinks in later in the afternoon and all I want to do is eat cake, ice cream, sugary junk foods, and sleep. Why isn't the Wellbutrin keeping me "up" all day?
Is craving sugary foods suggestive of serotonine deficiency? After I eat them I immediately get a jolt of energy and keep going but the problem is that I always overeat and already gained 10lb.
I'm not taking any medication for depression - I was simply asking what depression felt like in my original post. My oldest daughter mentioned that there was a change in my behavior -- lately -- sad, recluse, and just not myself as she says. My diagnosis --
I have been diagnosed with Adult ADD - well, actually diagnosed with ADD ages ago.
It takes a long time for the energy to return. For most, energy, sleep and depression seem to be the longest to work out. Just give it time. You have the right attitude by saying you don't want the pills in your life anymore, focus on that.
I know its hard but push yourself to do any exercise, it will be hard but it will help. It may take months before you have the energy back but it will be more than you ever had on the pills. I now run 8-10 miles a day.
He was very good and after a couple of meetings he prescribed me with medication for what he called a chemical imbalance in my brain that caused depression. The meds worked and I definitely wasn't as sad most of the time. So for seven years I've taken meds. More recently I've started to feel, emotionless and even angry (on the inside). Im not suicidal like I was in middle school, but I definitely don't feel good.
If you are taking medication for depression does that make your system take longer to ejaculate and also make it harder to gain an erection?
Looks like your depression is causing lethargy and you want a boost in mood and energy. If Wellbutrin is not doing the trick I suggest a SNRI like Cymbalta or maybe Effexor. Those can also be combined with Wellbutrin to maximize the energy boost. Also if you haven't tried Wellbutrin 300mg maybe this only could gives you energy. Anyway those are all things you can check out with your doctor.
I am currently looking for a new depression medication. I need some info on something that is NOT a SSRI, a hormone, and is not zoloft, celexa, or prozac......also something that does not contain salicylic acid aka aspirin. If anyone can help I would appreciate the help.
What medication can I speak to my Dr. about to help me with chronic fatigue? I was prescribed a "starting dose" of Paxil 10 mgs 7 days ago for severe depression, and .5mg Xanax 3x a day for anxiety as needed. Pretty much only using the Xanax at night if i have trouble sleeping because during the day it makes me too sleepy.
Rather than add another medication, you and your doctor might start substracting them, getting down to one good one that works...that in itself might solve your energy problem.
You sound depressed, and good for you for trying to do it without medication!! But it sounds like the meditation isn't working, so it may be time to see a therapist to determine why you're depressed, and deal with it. Sometimes we don't even know why, it can be a traumatic experience from our past that we haven't really dealt with, and it rears it's ugly head in depression or anxiety. Often once we find out "why" we can deal with it and move on with our lives.
this is a great site to have all these questions answered unfortunatley I know nothing of sub, but taking it for energy is only going to lead you to needing more and more to get thru the day. Every time you up your dosage on anything you need to continue at that strengh or you risk withdrawling. I hope you will consider trying something else for energy like healthy eating, excersing, getting proper rest.
I have been on fentanyl and percocets for 3 years. I have noticed the past year or so that I am having depression, no energy, feel horrible, can't even do anything just so exhausted. I thought it was depression but the more I read the more I realize it is most likely from the meds. My symptoms just keep getting worse and worse. I feel terrible all I can do is cry. I need someone for support to help me through all this.
