depression medication military

I'm 22 weeks and I feel as if depression is kicking in.. My husband is in the military and is gone a lot so I'm just feeling really lonely all the time. its so hard to be alone especially with all of these hormones and everything.

I was wondering how many moms got this after having their baby? When I was a teen I had depression and was on medication for it. But I've been off my medication for 8 years now. My doctor told me we would watch and see if I do. I don't get depressed much anymore.

I have been seeing a licensed counselor about some minor depression I am having over some recent events in my life. I refuse to take medication (and really don't need it) because it will be on my record of having a mental health issue and I don't want that for jobs I could potentially apply for.. ie police officer, military etc.. I have been seeing a licences counselor, not psychologist or anything about my issues.

t have to worry about becoming dependent on that medication. IF, you do need medication, a good therapist will refer you and admit they cannot help. Please keep us posted.

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.

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?

I have been battling depression for the past year. I wake up in the morning and have zero motivation to do anything. I want to do various things that need to be done around the house but when I go to do it but I can't strike up any motivation. My wife works and i don't. I have been applying for various jobs everyday but I never get any replies back. I always ask myself what this life is for? I can't figure out the answer.

Recently he has been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, manic depression and sleeplessness. They prescribed him the following meds: -wellbutrin 100mg 2x a day -depakote 3x a day totalling 1500 mg -seroquel 2x a day (25mg and 50mg) I'm extremely worried that the mix of these meds might hurt him more than help him. He has a history of pill addiction one of the main reasons why he joined the military so soon. Can this medicine cause his heart to stop or hurt him in any way?

I am so sorry you are feeling so bad at the moment. What medication was it that mad you feel so poorly? I don't know if we here can tell you what treatment you should be seeking. A doctor is the one to help you there, but it seems, in your case, a doctor is not helping you through this. Don't you think you should stay on the blood pressure medication ? Your blood pressure is very high.

Back in 1993, I was diagnosed with Post Partum Depression. I was on Wellbutrin and did very well. Off meds in late 1994. Then...2005 hit. My son went into the military and was facing his first deployment to Iraq. I went to see my doc who diagnosed me with depression and anxiety. I began taking Wellbutrin and Ativan. Forward to August 2005....my second child passed away. Doc doubled/tripled my Ativan. Another forward to July 2006...I moved out of state.

I really need help with a friend of mine who's depressed. If anyone has any advice, I'd be very appreciative. Here's the story below. Thank you so much. -Daniel A friend of mine who I've known for ten years is battling depression. Early last year, her husband cheated on her twice and got abusive with her on at least one occasion that I know of. I've tried asking her about it, but every time I do, she gets angry at me and tells me that she doesn't want to talk about it.

Im on medication for depression and anxiety. Also occasionally I have a sedative in case I go bizzercerz. Would that hurt my child more than stress would?

It depends on which medication, there are some that are safe. Ive been having issues with it, because ive already taken all the ones that are safe at one point and there are very few that are safe.

I read that one reason you cannot join with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia is because they confiscate all medicines you take and force you off of them when you start boot camp. Of course there's also the fact that my friend suffered chemical induced psychosis several years ago and they refused to let him join just because of that... if you've ever experienced psychosis then it's a big no to you which with bipolar disorder psychosis can be an issue.

Are there ANY anxiety/depression meds that are allowed to take during pregnancy?

s 9 now), my OB knew that I was at risk for depression. I had pretty bad post-partum depression with my daughter before that, and I was showing signs of depression at that point. So he was proactive about it and prescribed Zoloft when I was about 7 months pregnant. It must have done the trick...I didn't have any depression at all. I continued to take it for about six months after the baby was born, and there was no issue with the breastfeeding.

They didn’t have time for me… so hopefully somebody is getting better support from the military. To say I’m not impressed with military health care would be an understatement. I’m glad I could keep my civilian health benefits while I was deployed. I felt like I at least had access to “real” medical support should the need arise. Thank goodness I didn’t. But I digress.. (laugh!) back to my darling (crazy) boyfriend....

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'm so sorry hun, you don't deserve to be brushed off! Pregnancy is hard and overwhelming even without all the hormones. Try to be easy on yourself and just take it a day at a time. Can you get a new Dr? Dr's are supposed to take you seriously and work with you. If you feel like you don't have that you've got to find someone new or get a 2nd opinion. Do you have anyone you can talk to? To go to the appointment with you?

But I fear that my continued commitment to losing weight will not amount to anything because of my history of depression. It is frustrating for me because I chose to see a mental health professional to improve myself, but in the long run this is reason for disqualification. I am not sure what to do at this point. As unbelievable as it may sound, they seem to give out medication for perceived mental illness without a full diagnosis.

I have been taking Amitriptyline for a while for depression and pain but 6 weeks ago I suffered a stroke and my depression is worse so was given Sertraline along with the other.

She was sexually abused at a young age and family did not believe her. Mother was a severe alcoholic and parents divorced. Father is ex military, sees things very much in black and white and just wants her to toughen up. Has also been physically violent with daughter. Older brother is heroin addict and turned her onto drugs a few years ago; she’s been clean for more than 2 years. She spends most of her time with her grandparents; the grandmother is a cold person and hypercritical.

I went through disbelief, anger, hostility, depression, acceptance and then military precision on destruction of the disease. So each person handles it differently. HOWEVER - if you or someone you know is going through depression - WITH or WITHOUT HCV... Please ---- PLEASE --- find someone who is educated in this field... A doctor - a counselor - a priest - a pastor - psychologist - etc. Because Depression can really harm a person. Alright? Hugs!

There are certain rules in the military in relation to both diseases and I want to make sure I am diagnosed properly so if they decide I am not fit for duty that I am compensated properly. I have deployed ten times and I know that some of the situations that I have been in could cause the Anxiety portion, but I dont think that I can prove that if I have ADD that it was caused or started while I was in the military.
