Unless you have identified and corrected problems and issues in your life that were causing depression that is. Depression doesn't just disappear because we want it to. You have to work hard with treatment to achieve that. Therapy is the best method but medictaion is necessary for many to be avle to cope day to day.
Avatar m tn Wow you went a long time b4 having symptoms return.....so some of the post op issues may not be the cause here..... When you said numerous CT scans were done to rule out a syrinx what areas where they of? To properly rule out a syrinx you need a MRI of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine as a syrinx can form anywhere in the spine...some Drs only check the cervical spine. Next were you tested for ALL related conditions ?
Avatar m tn m suffering a head cold and have the aches and flu-like symptoms that come with that and could be hiding those symptoms from an outbreak. My glands in my groin are not in any pain. Again, there was absolutely zero anal contact and there has been no evidence of any herpes outbreak on my shaft or glans or elsewhere in my boxer-short region. I know herpes can show up anally when there has been no anal touching, but how likely is that.
Avatar f tn Smoking although clearly a good idea to stop does of course have withdrawal symptoms and also in noting why people with schizophrenia often smoked scientists are studying a new generation of antipsychotics based on the effects of nicotine (without the harmful effects). Clinical findings aside stopping smoking is rough for anyone so you can expect things to be difficult for a while and for standard symptoms from bipolar to worsen for a while.
Avatar f tn I know that the discontinuation of antidepressants is meant to be a gradual process, but I had no choice but to abruptly stop mine. Is it normal for depression to return almost immediately? I was able to schedule an appointment with my doctor for this week seeing as all of my phone calls have been ignored, but I am worried he is going to feel I am exaggerating about the severity of my depression. As I said, I am surprised by the sudden intensity.
Avatar f tn ll see that for most people who get well, it is a combination of managaing symptoms with or without drugs and then learning about all the material present and past that goes into the panic mix. That is where the therapy is very useful. I would also recommend that you associate yourself with other vets who have the same thing going on; I don't know how much you hang out at the VFW, but consider it. Or, are you still active military?
Avatar f tn For about 6 weeks I had anxiety/ depression. I went on Celexa and was able to completely wean off of Klonopin. I felt great for about 3 weeks and actually was really really happy. (It was my 4th week on Celexa). Well last week a creepy neighbor who was frustrated with a girl in our building (she wouldn't return his calls) emailed her and pretended to be someone else. He said some gossipy things about another girl in our building and about me.
Avatar f tn I also recommend that you speak with a trusted friends, counselor or someone from your religious denomination to help you sort out your feelings also, communication is key to all relationships, so speak with your family members one by one to clear any misunderstandings and return to a healty, happy home environment...
Avatar n tn m now wondering if perhaps my symptoms are due to depression or are perhaps exacerbated because of depression. My question is can depression be a purely physical disease? In other words, can one have depression without feeling 'sad' emotionally? I've always been a happy, optimistic person. I have no other major stressors in my life, aside from my present illness. I'm a 30 y/o male with no history of any serious illness. I'm in good shape and have a good social life.
950760 tn?1316697651 I have recently returned to the work place having been off for nearly 6 months with work related depression. The return to work was staged over a one month period from working a 4 hour day to build up to a 7 hour 24 minute day by the end. Prior to my being on the sick I was undertaking a number of managerial type roles which were on top of my normal role. Since my return I am left feeling worthless, the roles I previously undertook have been given to others.
Avatar m tn How long did it take YOU to return to normalcy? I am most concerned about the insomnia; I do not do well on not enough sleep. High BP so no NyQuil, etc. It has been a week now and things are still sucking.
Avatar n tn sleep is the last to return but it does return.. Congrats on freeing yourself.. hope you stay around for support as this is a great sight with many understanding people..
Avatar f tn I talk to any of my doctors who has the bedside manners conducive to discussing the intimate subject of depression. I would think that every cancer patient has to deal with depression at some time or another. It hit me during chemotherapy. You should bring it up with both your doctors and let them decide who will treat you for it. You may have to get a third doctor. Nothing is easy now days.
Avatar m tn and recently ive been unable to get ahold of the drug anymore therefore ive began feeling withdrawal symptoms more severe than i thought i would have to endure for such a short time user. ive tried to quit multiple times but it hasnt worked solely because of the depression. i feel the only way i can ever be happy again in life is by taking oxycontin. i feel so unmotivated, lazy, and depressed when sober that i can barely leave the house or get anything productive done.
Avatar f tn It's depression, get help.
Avatar f tn I have had depression for 20 years, and know I must stay on medication for the rest of my life. I am 69 so not so bad, for a younger person it must be a worry. Obviously you have to stay on an anti-depressant until you feel you are well enough to stop. I have stopped 3 times, but for me, the depression always comes back. You have to decide what is best for you. It is known that depression does often return. Try stopping, if you feel you want to, and see how you go. Only you can decide.
Avatar m tn I have been feeling like this for a while now. Are these symptoms of depression and if so what can I do to get back to normal? I am in good physical shape and try to get as much exercise as I can. Sometimes I feel a lot better after exercising. I have never used any drugs and my diet is pretty healthy but Im usually not hungry but I eat a little anyway just so that I try no to skip meals.
Avatar n tn ) If you stop taking your medication there is a very good chance that the symptoms of your Depression will return. Unfortunatly Depression almost never just goes away. The medication only controls it. This can often be very deciving because many times our medication does such a good just at controling our symptoms of depression that we think, "hey i'm better now and I can stop my meds.
Avatar f tn I smoke and wonder if it interferes with the medications, have breakthrough depression after many years on meds.
Avatar f tn I am an MD. During residency, I gave birth, & developed significant postpartum depression & profound fatigue. I was unable to return to work. One year later I was still sleeping 14 hours/day. Overnight PSG: no OSA; mostly stages 1&2, paucity of REM. MSLT: MSL 6.3 min w/no REM (I do take Welbutrin, a REM-suppressant). Dx: idiopathic hypersomnolence vs narcolepsy w/o cataplexy. Meds didn’t help. 3 years later, repeat OPSG+MSLT: MSL=6.3 min, 1 REM episode at 4.5 min.
