Avatar f tn At the age of 19, I had a bout of depression and was given and short course of tablets. When asking about counselling for the OCD, anxiety and depression, I was told, "sorry we don't provide it". 18 months later I feel overloaded with rituals and anxiety. I lie in bed for as long as I can until I have no option but to get up and start the exhausting day all over again.
Avatar f tn Okay so I've had issues with depression way before becoming pregnant. And now being pregnant I of course cannot take my meds. Has anyone else dealt with depression issues before/during pregnancy? No certain reason behind them, just depressed. And does it usually cause you to be more at risk for post partum depression? How can I deal with this easier? Now and once my little man is here?
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 In January i went to my GP and got prescribed medication for depression but never actually took any of them. I have them here as proof in the package untouched and along with the repeat prescription lasting a further 5 months worth of tablets. I am wishing to join the royal marines but they need you to be off anti depressants for 24 months before applying to join.
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.
1228164 tn?1267419626 I've had depression for many years. It has been fairly manageable until last year when a few events triggered a breakdown which has left me almost unable to function. I'm writing this now after 2 failed attempts at bed despite being up all last night. I barely leave my flat, I'm angry about silly little things, I have zero motivation, I don't eat or sleep very much, no medications have helped and even the psychologist that I'm seeing doesn't seem to be doing much good.
5894884 tn?1386969571 I need some help. I'm currently 25w+1d and suffer severe depression and anxiety (both have been diagnosed and confirmed by doctors and psychologists). I came off medication about a year and a half-2 years ago. Since being pregnant my depression has got worse again due to my hormones being all over the place and i'm now debating going back onto medication (after talking to my doctor of course).
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 .
468836 tn?1215476116 I don't really know where to start with this, I don't know if i have anxiety or depression or whether it's possible to have both. I always feel nervous and panicky, but also like i'm not worth anything and like everything i love, everything i hold dear, i'm going to lose and that it'll be my own fault. I always seem to mess up in relationships and everything i do, and its always my own fault.

Avatar f tn I was referred to NHS Time to Talk and it helped for a bit, but has recently become worse. I went out for the first time in a while and everything felt weird, like i wasnt there and i was dreaming it. The next day it really freaked me out and now i cant stop thinking "Is this real". Everyday it feels like im trying to not panic. Its making me really down. Does anybody else get this?
Avatar f tn Hope you find a peaceful place and work out if the medication is the best for you. Did you tell your doctor that you had stopped taking it before?
Avatar m tn Now unlike most nights this was very severe anxiety that depression was kicking in, ie unexplained crying, thoughts of death, thoughts that you are alone... Now mentally last night I started shaking and had an urge to rub my body and legs. I thought I could be getting symptoms of heart failure, or suffering a heart from a heart attack.

Avatar f tn Hi everyone, I've had severe depression for about 8months now and have been on medication and counselling etc, and i thought things were getting better as i seemed to get these happy episodes, but now theyve become severe episodes where i feel such overwhelming excitment and happiness.... all i want to do is jump up and down and scream and sing and talk to anyone who is there, and if no one is there i will talk to myself.
