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?
That's unusual because there are a variety of classes of anti-depressants that work in very different manners. The site "Depression Central" has full information on what is available but I would suggest the best thing to do is see a mood disorders specialist and see if they could determine if there is any medication you could take that you would react to better including medications that are FDA approved but in clinical study as anti-depressants.
i'm using zoloft (vitamin Z), and it's hard to say from my perspective. I was on Z when I started abusing hydrocodone. I tried weaning from zoloft sometime ago, before hc, and it was hard, different from opiate withdrawals. As "worried" mentioned, could help with the depression, if it surfaces. i recommend asking your doc.

I am seeing a professional therapist, and he is recommending anti depressants. I think my depression is caused by a mix of genetics (depression runs in my family) and my life situation. Lately my depression seems to be getting worse, I feel like i've lost interest in a lot of things that I used to enjoy, often I don't want to get out of bed, I cannot see the good in anything, I only focus on the bad, and lately I have been having more suicidal thoughts.
a lot of people are sensitive to anti-depressants and others medication. i would talk to your doctor and try and find a medication that doesn't make make you feel sick, so you can get some benefits. :) Good luck.
And is there any evidence that taking anti-depression medication reduces the symptoms from having chronic back pain?

Hey Megan, I am 72 years old and after 20 years of being on anti depressants, I am now free of all medication. Like you I have been on many different anti depressants over the years. I took Zoloft for quite a few years, and it worked well for me. It is just that my doctor thought I needed a change.
I understand that St John's Wort works for people with mild depression, so it may be worth a try. I have never tried it myselof.
I am on day 6 cold turkey off percocets. I realize the underlying issue is depression/coping. Today I saw a NP and was prescribed Saphris 5mg SL every night and started on Lamictal with a tapering increase in dose over the next month. Im not comfortable with the Saphris though,,,its an "atypical antipsychotic" and used for people with Bipolar I disorder and schizophrenia?????
and as for all the ads on zofran linked to birth defects unfortunately any medication we take while pregnant can cause them! For me zofran saved me and my sons life.
Antidepressants CAN alleviate depression as it works on the chemicals in the brain. Good diet, good sleep hygiene is helpful but will not change neurotransmitters. However, most antidepressants have the side effect of decreasing your sex drive.
I was diagnosed with Clinical Depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder as well as Social Anxiety in September 2010, I'm now seeing a therapist who may soon refer me to a psychiatrist who will prescribe me medication. I'm currently 15 years old and I'm wondering if I should wait to be prescribed anything? My therapist told me it's up to me/my parents if I want to try it or not. Should I just continue with the therapy and try the meds or not?
I am a 45 year old male. I have suffered depression all of my life, feeling sad as far back into childhood as I can remember. I spent many, many years self-medicating (alcohol+drugs). I know for me, I have tried 16 different anti-depressants and other than the ones that gave me severe nausea and the ones that made me feel like a walking Zombie (Effexor, Seroquel and Olanzapine), the others did nothing.
But anyways, I was wondering if I could take the two or should I just take the anti-depressant and see how I do without the melatonin and then maybe add it in. or should I ask my doctor..
i was originally diagnosed with depression then changed drs and they diagnosed me with bipolar 2. i have been on numerous meds. ifwhat you are on is making you have these episodes you most likely could have bipolar. if you dont trust your healthcare professional go to another one for a 2nd opinion.
About 15 years ago I started on anti depression Meds for my anxiety/panic attacks because I could not function. 11 years ago I developed some serious health problems which I continue to suffer from. One of my problems is I have Lupus which exacerbates depression and on top of that I have been on steroids full time for the past 4 years which also exacerbates depression.
