new depression treatment medication

t know that this is still being offered as a treatment for depression. I think most think of the movie one who flew over the cuckcoo's nest. It's not like that anymore...you are put to sleep for maybe 10 minutes while they shock the brain. Has anyone tried ECT? I know this helped me...I did the treatment for 3 weeks everyday and then did every other friday for a month. Only side affects were headaches, memory loss. If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask...I am an open book.

After years of continued difficulty with bouts of depression, anger/irritability, sleep, I saw a new doctor in 2015 who prescribed Abilify 5mg along with Adderall. He mentioned that he thought I continued to have issues because of the Prozac but did not officially give me a diagnosis. I immediately saw the benefits. However, at the end of 2016 I went through a severe bout of depression and discontinued the Abilify.

Hello. :) I suffer from bipolar type 2 and I'm taking lexapro 20mg, anti depressant, and lamictal (probably spelled it wrong) 100mg, mood stabilizer. Since I have started taking them, I have definately improved, however, I'm not satisfied.

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.

I go to my doctors in a couple of days and want to try a new depression med,but am afraid my anxiety will come back. What meds should I try. Ive been on Lexapro twice first time it worked quit it and started it again when I had my first anxiety issues,didn't work for my depression. Effexor- intensified whatever mood I was in.

For those of you on treatment already, are there any tips you can give me...I.E. Recognizing depression before it gets too severe. Things of that nature...Special foods or vitamins to recommend?

I am researching safe depression medication to take when I go on the treatment for hepatitis C. I am on Wellbutrin now and I am finding myself crying now and I have not even started treatment because I already suffer from depression but not badly (normally). Life will change now as I do not know how I will respond to the effects. I would love some input on what effects others are having with the treatment and I am really happy to have found this site to have people to talk to.

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.

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.

Medicine + talk therapy has been suggested as the best treatment of depression. You can get to a place where you can and want to allow happiness to be part of your life. You deserve that. As for the insomnia, that could likely be a side effect of the depression, but if it isn't then a doctor might be able to help you sort it out.

Work closely with your doctor when starting a new medication and address any concerns you may have with him.....he wants and needs to know how you're doing on it, so never hesitate to call him. I hope this helps and I wish you all the best!

I personally recovered from an underactive thyroid with no medication or intervention with my thyroid by treating my low level depression or dysthymia. (most who have thyroid issues seem to have a more low level depression which is called dysthymia for those who aren't familiar with that term). Because of my professional background and understanding the association, I went the route of knocking out the dysthymia with medication that I took for about 6 months. Thyroid righted itself.

how bad are the side effects of treatment and when is the new drug being released on the market

Most people who failed treatment on Interferon are having success with the new treatments (Harvoni and some others). As far as your current symptoms: Interferon can affect the eyesight. Have you seen an Opthamologist? If you have not seen an Opthamologist about your eye problems, please see one ASAP. Be sure it is an Opthamologist (NOT an optician or an optometrist). Tell him/her you were on Interferon and Ribavirin and are now having problems with your eyesight.

Hi All, My boyfriend is about to start treatment, we are terrifed, he already has early cirrohsis - does everyone get so sick on treatment - I have seen postings that indicate that even after treatment stos some people still have long term side affects like depression.

Some people do not respond well to medication and are medication resistant getting no relief and others have a hard time tolerating medication. This is new this year, cranial electrotherapy stimulation which uses what sounds to be ear pads (electrodes incorporated into noise canceling over ear head sets looking like regular headphones) to supply the therapy. It sounds very promising. https://www.neurologylive.

From what I have read, this drug is more of an anti-psychotic type medication rather than a traditional antidepressant medication. Although studies are showing it to be effective for some types of depression too. I guess the verdict is still out on this drug. If I find out anything new I will report it here.

Everytime I go see my doctor (General Practicioner) he has me feel out a mood disorder questionaire and my answers determine my medication. What do you recommend I do to get off of these? I just got laid off my job so I do not have health insurance to see someone else. I still have refills so I pay cash for these.

I have really bad shakes, nausea, and tinnitus (ear ringing) from medication I take for my thyroid. My Dr. gave me some depression medication and told me it may supress the symptoms. It ended up making them worse. He gave me citalopram. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
