depression symptoms while on antidepressants

im preg too 15weeks 1day. i was on prozac for depression and when i told my doctor i was preg he stopped me taking them he said they wasnt safe so he put me on something else called sertraline. i would go back and tell them this im from england london. are u from some where different.

Firstly though worrying is indeed the very core of depression. When you have depression you worry about everything but mostly it turns in on you and focuses on you all the time. So you worry about how depressed you are which increases your anxiety which increases your depression which.... And so it goes. It just keeps building so having faith when you know a med is not working is not the way to go at all. As soon as you know it's not helping go back to the doc and say that.

Has anyone taken Zoloft bc of postpartum depression ? And did it give u side effects ?

Can anyone tell me what antidepressants are safe to take while on opiate therapy?? or your experience with them???

My advice is to ask him or her about interactions with your HIV meds (if you are on meds), and not to rely on medical advice that you might receive on an online forum.

I was on antidepressants throughout my pregnancy and my son is fine. Its all about weighing up benefits.

Its not only so much withdrawal symptoms that can be of concern but to check on the return of what it was treating and you might be unaware of how it is helping and it takes a while for the medication to get out of your system and its only then that things get bad. I know having done this once on my own and I would never again.

ive recently tapered off cymbalta (because it wasnt working for me) its been close to 2 weeks that ive been totally off antidepressants. i was on lexapro for 3 years previously for anxiety/depression. the reason ive tapered off is because my doc wants me to try trintellix, but ive not started it because of issues with my insurance not wanting to pay for it. anyway, long story short, ive felt clearer headed in the last few weeks than i have in the last 3 years. like a veil has been lifted some.

My therapist said short-term medication is a possibility as a tool in my recovery. Has anyone used antidepressants while going to therapy?? It would be really helpful to hear some positive feedback. Medication is a kind of scary thought to me.

So either they are not bipolar, i.e. their depression is not bipolar depression rather unipolar depression or that they take them until a little relieved then they start again on their mood stabilizers. Most probably they are unaware of the consequences. They tried it once and it worked for a while. The problem with this disease is that the brain system is not stable. Even if it's stable we call it in engineering metastable position.

Im glad you have decided to wait to see how you feel! Give it some time to let your brain start functioning on its own! I have been on ADs for years and a month after I stopped the pain pills I started weaning off the AD. Still have a ways to go but I want to see what life is like without anything in my system! Depending on the AD you have to wean off of it too or there will be WDs. I am on effexor and it is a BEAR to come off of!!! So give yourself some more time and see how you feel!!!

But if you get your thyroid sorted I dont see any reason why you should need the anti depressants. Anxiety/depression are symptoms of hyoT.

m really, really scared of my depression getting even worse. I have no idea if my physical symptoms - swollen glands and lump - were purely coincidental or what. Has anyone else used antidepressants while tapering? And/or has anyone else developed a seemingly unrelated illness during quitting? Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm really worried. Also want to say thanks for this forum - reading some of your stories and posts has been a godsend.

Antidepressants don't usually make people gain weight, and definitely not the ones that people will prescribe you as your first few antidepressants. (Some people don't respond to some antidepressants, and have to try several). Weight gain is on the list of possible symptoms of pretty much every psychiatric medication out there, but then so is suicidal thoughts, and that doesn't happen to lots of people who take the drugs otherwise they wouldn't be called antidepressants.

She got to the point to where she would try anything to help with her depression. After getting put on the medication she became a whole other person she was out going and full of life. After not talking the medication for a few days she decided she would much rather be the person she is on the medication than the person she is off it. I hope this helps with your decision.

I am on Wellbutrin XL, Ablify and Zoloft. I am still not doing better. Do you think they would put me on another Antidepressant also?

I reasoned that, as long as I felt I could function without the meds (which I did), then there was no reason for me to stay on them while TTC. A magazine article I read a couple of weekends ago, made me glad I went off of them: it was all about the higher incidence of birth defects in babies born to women to take SSRIs (I think Paxil was the main one profiled). Especially when the meds were taken during the second trimester, when most of the organs are being completely formed.

I have been on the antidepressant rollercoaster for about 22 years---and dealing with depression and anxiety for over 40 years. I had a horrible time tolerating the side effects, so i could not take most of them. if I managed to find one that would actually help---it would only last for a few months---and then poop out on me. I also tried ECT--but quit after 3 sessions--getting there was too complicated.

. I've had symptoms of depression and anxiety for about the last 4 years I've tried Paxil Zoloft and I'm currently on gabapentin 900 milligrams per day and lamotrigine working my way up to 50 milligrams per day. The reason for my depression and anxiety is a disease called Meniere's syndrome, and it causes severe tinnitus. It's the tinnitus that has been the arrow in my knee and it doesn't seem to let up.

It is so hard now to get medicine from your Dr because of all the lawsuits and TVs commercials about taking antidepressants while pregnant. Bottom line you need help at least while your pregnant because its only going to get worse. Ask your Dr for 10 mg prozac. My Dr research it and said it was the safest one out there for depression.

I plan on WORKING, too, while on it, unless its just TOO painful and I constantly need to be at home during the treatment, my doctor is NOT very easy to understand, he is a foreigner, LOL. SO, please tell me, whether it be METHODONE, CODEINE, VICODIN, street drugs, etc. I am DESPERATE to make it SUCCESSFULLY through this treatment ONE way or another, I cannot fail at this.

Antidepressants don't have the same effects on everyone, and different antidepressants have different effects on the same person. They are very individual in how they affect you. Adderall is speed, and while speed has long been used for depression, as they say, speed kills. You get used to it and have to keep taking more, and it's hard to stop taking it. It also makes people anxious, and a lot of depressed people are also anxious.

Just a lay person hazarding a guess I would say that meds can predispose a person to adrenal fatigue. Perception of stress, which can trigger the stress response, is different for everyone so there are also likely to be significant individual differences. I think that the answer to the question perhaps isn't as important as focusing on your symptoms and looking at ways to increase your health and well-being. I would talk to your doctor and discuss your concerns.
