Avatar f tn After years of continued difficulty with bouts of depression, anger/irritability, sleep, I saw a new doctor in 2015 who prescribed Abilify 5mg along with Adderall. He mentioned that he thought I continued to have issues because of the Prozac but did not officially give me a diagnosis. I immediately saw the benefits. However, at the end of 2016 I went through a severe bout of depression and discontinued the Abilify.

Avatar f tn You need to talk to your doctor ASAP and let them know you have a history of depression, this way they can put you on meds. Your depression might also get worse after you give birth so do something about it now. This way the meds will be in your system and working by then. The stress and depression isn't just bad for you, it's bad for baby as well.
Avatar f tn m currently receiving counselling and am 21w pregnant suffering with severe depression and anxiety. Both my GP and counsellor have recommended I take medication again but have refused due to the fact I do not want that going into my child. If I still feel bad after I have given birth them may see about medication again but that's just my view.

Avatar m tn 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.

Avatar n tn I'm hoping to seek some advice. I am 24 weeks pregnant and during my last doctors visit, she told me that I may be suffering from depression, and suggested that I be prescribed Zoloft and to see a therapist. I don't believe that my days are completely awful, yes I'm a bit down and I'm losing sleep, but that's about it. Me feeling down in the dumps feels the same as PMSing and having a bad day.

Avatar m tn A complete diagnostic evaluation is conducted so as to find out the cause of depression. Many factors like family history, genetic disorder, symptoms, severity, any history of treatment etc. once diagnosed, the patient of depression can be treated with a number of ways. Medication and psychotherapy are the common ones. Antidepressants help the patients by acting and balancing the neurotransmitters in the brain. They can be taken by consulting a doctor.

Avatar f tn 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.

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 .
Avatar f tn my 15 year old suffers from depression and anxiety but because of a history of suicide in our family doctors are hesitant to give her meds. i don't like the idea of my daughter taking anti depressants but her sadness overwhelms the entire family. she is in therapy but i don't think its helping. i feel like she is disappearing right before my eyes. why would someone feel hopeless without reason?
