depression medication opinions

It sounds like depression, but I would suggest continuing therapy and seeing a psychiatrist if you are considering medication. Medication alone will not solve everything as therapy will teach you great tools to combat depression. Therapists and psychiatrists are the sort of people you will want to keep trying until you find one you are comfortable with because when you're especially bad off, you want to be able to be 100% honest with them.

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?

Other side effects seem to be permanent, at least while on the medication. The dizziness, walking into things, slurring of words, and some weird eye sensitivity to night light, they mainly passed over a few weeks. More permanent side effects for me have included rapid weight gain which only stabilised with severe curtailing of diet - a tough call for someone normally quite thin. Cholesterol and blood pressure have gone up; I now need crestor for high cholesterol.

I have been suffering from anxiety, OCD, intrusive thoughts, general worry and depression since I was 12. It is getting better somewhat because I am suffering less hypochondriac related anxiety attacks about my heart, im able to push negative thoughts to the side, etc. I still feel worried every day though and almost as if I am in a dream like state. M life needs to get better mentally but I do not want to gain fat or become lazy with medications.

So I've had anxiety for a pretty long time, I'd say about 8 months now. I don't really have it as bad anymore. But i have terrible mood swings i get happy not extremely happy though..... and then i get really really extreme lows all through out the day . My mom is bipolar and i know it can be genetic ... I just hate being so up and down all the time i feel like i can't stay in the same mood for even an hour.

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.

So, my psychiatrist is thinking that bipolar disorder is a definite possibility for me. She's also thinking that taking lithium would be a good idea for me in order to stabilize my mood swings (especially mania because of frequent episodes of psychosis). My mother isn't so sure about letting me take ANY sort of medication no matter what it's for, but I'm still undecided. My father just wants me to be stable, so it's my mother's choice.

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

There is an older type of medications they could try you on that may not have such side effects. Remember I cannot give medical directions, only patient opinions.

ve currently been diagnosed with Neuropathy. I take Lexapro for depression. They added Elavil and Gabapentin to try to alleviate my symptoms. Here goes the fun part, my symptoms. All opinions are welcome and MS does run in my family. I'm a 29 year old female. Right sided pain, numbness, tingling My limbs feel as though they weigh 10x's what they actually do. Strange sharp pains in my neck. Electrical jolt pains throughout my right side.

You should be feeling somewhat better if your previous therapist was any good, and got to the root cause of your depression, but often even after therapy you still need medication. I would just try to start fresh with the whole thing, and go from there. Good luck, I know it's frustrating but go the appropriate route by speaking to someone who has the authority to help you with this, and to get you another therapist.

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 .

Hi there - I would like to get some opinions on this too. I just started Levothyroxine 50mcg 9 days ago and so far really do not feel any different apart from heart palpitations in the evenings. I am seeing my doc later today to get his opinion on this as I am not happy about it - v scary. I hope you get some responses to this post.

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.

Also, I have taken up to 4 sleeping pills, with no results? It seems that any type of medication that I take in pill form does not work, but anything injected through an IV works like a charm. Can anyone tell me why????

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

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?
