Avatar f tn t start treatment if you have a history of depression. You must have your depression under control as the treatment can cause a major depressive episode which could cause you to stop treatment before completing treatment. Depression and insomnia go together. Trazodone is a rather old antidepressant (serotonin modulator). If you are still experiencing depression then it is not working for you. Also since it is incompatible with treatment meds you need to find a new antidepressant anyway.
Avatar m tn Regardless, you should never avoid seeking mental health treatment if you need it. Unfortunately, there is such a stigma placed on mental health treatment in our society that those who need it stray away from it.
Avatar f tn re not already on anti-depressants, they may be recommended before you start treatment as the treatment drugs can make depression worse.
2011699 tn?1328933353 A serious potential side effect of Hep C treatment is depression. People who suffer depression while taking treatment, people who have thoughts of suicide or self-harm or people with a family history of depression should be encouraged to access support and counseling. Anyone with a history of depression should be monitored throughout their treatment to make sure that treatment is not causing a major depressive episode.

560272 tn?1311350293 I'm feeling extremely hopeless. I'll be 30 in 2 days. I'm on my second marriage-which is bad. I have 5 kids. I've had severe anxiety and depression for 10 years (not being able to work, drive alone, etc...). 2 years ago I quit going to doctors, 5 weeks ago I quit my Prozac, because after 2 yrs on it-it just wasn't doing much. When I went to doctors, had the normal blood tests run, all would come back normal.
Avatar f tn the ER streeted me, then I tested positive for lupus in a blood test, and was sent to a rheumatologist who told me he assumed I get lots of tests from lots of doctors, and that he thinks when my depression is under control, all my symptoms will go away. Can doctors refuse treatment because I'm bipolar? Why is it acceptable for me to be treated sub-human simply because of my bipolar diagnosis? What do I have to do to get treatment?
Avatar f tn Hi,nice for me to hear that you haven't experinced depression,because I'm going to start my hep treatment tomorrow!! and I'm very very scary.I've been eroin user for years,years ago.I've been self medication with antideppressive for long time and all that let me some kind of swing mood,so I'm scare abaut the side effect of treatment.Never hear abaut people that developed skins prob ,way don't going to see a dermatologist?
Avatar f tn these meds can make a huge difference in peoples lives and for many will help them get through treatment since the tx drugs can cause depression.
Avatar f tn Hello all, I just wanted opinions and advise on Bipolar Disorder. I have not been diagnosed with it but do believe it may be what I have. I haven't been to a doctor (not counting ER visits and Urgent Clinics) since I was 14, I'm 22 now. I have extreme anxiety about going this Friday because I am not used to talking to a doctor. for the past 3 years, I have been having on and off depression episodes that last around 3-6 weeks. They start of mild and get worse as the weeks pass.
Avatar f tn I am wondering if you are seeing a Medical Doctor or Therapist for your depression and anxiety. A healthy diet certainly can make your body run smoother but if you do suffer from the dual diagnosis of depression/anxiety first you must get together a treatment plan that in many cases will include a well balanced diet. You do ask about staying motivated and I have found that depression drowns motivation in most cases.
Avatar m tn They are very similar and have same symptoms. Manic depression is hyperactivity. And depression is inattentive or withdrawal from interests. Start prescribing the adhd meds for depression or inattentive attention disorder, and, mood stabilization meds for maniac disorders or hyperactivity and leave psychotherapy for environmental issues and coping skills for change.
Avatar f tn Any time during pregnancy you think you might be depressed you need to talk to your doctor, it could turn into ppd after baby is born. It's better to gey a head start on treatment than wait.
901137 tn?1267626189 I have been with the same psychiatrist for more than 10 years. Over this time he has been attempting to address my "treatment resistant" depression. We have been through more medicines than I can list here. For over a year now I have been taking 450mg Effexor and 450mg Buproprion, Over the last two months he has sent for a series of ECT treatments. During my most recent appointment he was pre-occupied with leaving for another personal appointment.
602261 tn?1252583158 Sorry for two posts today I should have included this in my original post but how much of a role does depression play in your individual treatment? I would like to hear some people's opinion on how severe it is. I know it's sometimes a case by case basis but I was just interested in hearing from those of you that have or haven't encountered this problem while in treatment. I want to hear from both sides.
Avatar f tn We are very sorry you are going through this difficult time. Please speak to your doctor about what is happening and how you are feeling. If the things you've been given have not helped with the depression you are suffering, please speak to your doctor about what to do next so that you can get treatment and be safe. We've sent resources to your inbox. Please let us know if we can help.
Avatar f tn can a doctor refuse to allow treatment because of a history of (controlled) depression? I have a great support system and I'm in therapy for the first time in my long life. I spoke to a nurse who works for a GI/hepatologist last week. She told me that the doctor she works for has refused treatment to those who have a history of depression. I've been reading through HIPPA laws. You can request that your doctor share only the "minimal necessary" as far as records.
1576889 tn?1299727476 Then some have different issues that they need to address. A doctor should ask you things like whether you ever had depression or other physical issues etc. There are many variables that could change how you tollerate treatment. I only had a slight side effect for 24hrs. after injection. It made me sleep better.
Avatar f tn ve beem referred for treatment to help my anxiety and depression. If you want to private message me and talk/vent you can, sometimes it's better to talk to someone you dont know in person. But i do suggest going to your midwife or doctor as they can help you.
Avatar f tn You have Hashimotos and you NEED treatment. Are you sure your doctor has a degree? Does he still use leeches on his patients? Get a new doctor. Get on some hypo meds and get better!
