Avatar m tn I am trying to come off my anti-depression medication as I feel that it is doing more harm than good. I have been taking depocote and mirtazapine for about 3 years. I have stopped taking the depocote 5 days ago and feel a bit strange. I am feeling more alive now than I have done for some time, I assume due to the fact that depocote suppresses the highs of manic depression. I need to ask advice as to whether I am doing this the right way.
Avatar n tn My palpitations have stopped but the mood swings and depression have returned to just how they were before I reduced the dose. I do not know what to do..go back to my original doctor and tell her this? or continue on the 50 mg for 5 more weeks before I see the psychiatrist again? I can't take these moodswings and return to depression again.

967168 tn?1477584489 You're welcome, and yes it makes sense to me because I've been there! I've been thru an awful lot and people kept saying "oh, you're so strong...how do you do it," etc. Well, on the inside I felt very fragile and ready to pop with the frustration of having to pretend all was well. Feeling like you made me seek help, and I'm a much happier person as a result. I think sometimes we try to be everything to everyone, and always the strong one.
Avatar f tn 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.
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 m tn 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?
Avatar f tn m going to wait another week (6 weeks in total) but I doubt much difference will be made in that time. What medication would people recommend for someone who suffers from constant intrusive thoughts and anxiety?
Avatar f tn Fatigue no matter how much sleep I get, terrible cold intolerance, and depression are the most troublesome. (On Prozac for the depression). Within the last year my eyesight is also getting worse. I'm 26, and the last time I got my vision tested it was better than normal (40/20)... I've noticed I cant see as nearly as well as before (have an eye appt in July to investigate it further).
Avatar f tn I've dealt with depression for most of my life and have been medicated for the past year. I have been off medication for the duration of my pregnancy but due to some family issues and stress, I've been really struggling. Is there anything anybody here has done to help lift their spirits? I really don't want to go back on medications during my pregnancy, and I seriously will try anything to feel better.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Seroquel is an anti-psychotic medication. Yes, in most people it does make them very sleepy. 14 hours a night not abnormal for someone taking Seroquel if they are sensitive to it or new to the drug. May I suggest asking your P-doc about Seroquel XR. It is an extended release formula of the drug and should be easier for you to tolerate. Many people report that after switching to the XR formula that they can take it during the day once they get used to the drug.
Avatar f tn Are there ANY anxiety/depression meds that are allowed to take during pregnancy?
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. 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 .
Avatar f tn For me it was a huge effort just speaking to people. Its like when depressed you have to fake how you feel because you cant just walk around literally ignoring people but when it comes to loved ones, especially partners its easier to ignore and block them out because you kinda know there going to be there. I know it sounds selfish but its how I was. I hated my mother asking me any questions at all because I hated making effort answering them.

Avatar n tn Her pediatrician initially prescribed it for her then she started seeing a Psychiatrist and a counselor for her depression. At least that was the diagnosis. Since she started seeing the psychiatrist, he has continually increased her dosage. She is on 200mg daily. At 12 years old. I think this is extreme and cannot get in to see the Dr. myself to ask if this is even the right medication for her.
Avatar n tn hey my diagnoses is bipolar depression i take 150 zoloft,50naltrexone,60mg inderol,trileptal 900,stelazine 6mg,cogentin 0.
Avatar f tn I was just wondering if anyone else experiences their depression the way I do. I will be fine one minute and then the next minute, it feels like someone has sucked all the joy out of me and I just want to cry uncontrollably. It's horrible.
Avatar m tn 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.

Avatar n tn She also been to Psycoligist, Psychiatrist and anyone else with P S Y at the start of their title. She had several blood tests and been put on Lithium aswell. She is now off of all drugs.......everything. I dont think she is depressed, I think there is something wrong in her body. The biggest problem with her is she can spend several weeks feeling perfectly fine and normal and then she'll spend several weeks rock bottom.
