I find this absolutely disgusting that the Effexor causes such severe withdrawl symptoms. Something is terribly wrong with these type medications. I was put on the meds. for my PMDD. I no longer have this but yet have developed an addiction to the drug. If I have trouble getting off the Prozac, I will have a serotonin blood test done. If my level is low than I will adjust the medication accordingly.
I am 37 weeks, I think I have severe depression. Never been treated for it or anything but it has gotten worse and ita so unhealthy. I dont want to be looked at as an unfit mother, but I feel I need to bring it up to my doctor... Suggestions?
Depression during pregnancy is common. Women who have suffered from depression before their pregnancy are more likely to see it again during their pregnancy.
Depression, and or anxiety can be due to a number things. One is the obvious. Hormones. Your body is going threw a lot of changes.

I always had more problems around that time of month with pain, anxiety and depression...my whole body in general. I was glad when they added PMDS dx. My symptoms were much more severe than the typical periods of my peers.
At the end of March I decided to take myself off of them because I was experiencing pretty severe depression and crying spells, which is very unlike me. Everything was bothering me, I was afraid of being alone, had no appetite, my heart would race and the entire world seemed to be falling down around my shoulders.
When I stopped taking them I stopped in the middle of a pack and I did start to feel a little better. My appetite came back slowly and my racing heart eventually calmed.
I think depression can be a combination of things - both physical and emotional. I used to get mind blowing headaches, which was partly caused by my depression, and then because I had them, it made me feel emotionally worse. It's a nasty cycle. From what you've described, you've been under a ton of stress, getting married is up there in the stress meter! I know when I've been ill, which I went through recently, it sure made my mood drop.
I'm male actually. I've been taking multi-vitamin including vitamin B and iron.
I also scheduled to get my Thyroid test tomorrow, since I found out that it could also be the problem. I also got a complete hemogram about 2 months ago and everything showed up fine. I'm trying to discard and physical problems before start to think it could be a mental one (stress, depression, bipolar).
I'm 33 weeks and still feel disconnected to my baby. I feel so numb and gone. I'm afraid I won't love her when she's here. I've suffered from severe depression for about 6 years now. Has anybody at all gone through the disconnected feeling?
I really have to push him to help me cause I am suffering and starting to have panic attacks because my symptoms are intolerable. I would like to wait for the next treatment for genotype 1a here in B.C. but that could be 3 years from now, so I have heard. I'm getting more and more disabled and losing patience as I can hardly function at times. I know triple therapy is pretty brutal but I'm very sick anyways.
Do you have any ideas?
I am a pretty emotional guy, with some already present anxiety issues and emerging from depression earlier this year. So, this is going to be extra tough. Hang in there with me guys! Thanks again.
Congrats to all of you who are a step ahead of me, you give me hope!
I am experiencing a whooshing sound that is in sync with my pulse. I also get a severe pain in both eyes. My doctor has ordered a carotid ultrasound. However, I Googled my symptoms, and wonder if I have hypotensive intracranial pressure. Would an ultrasound find that? I have had these symptoms for some time, but they have recently become more severe and bothersome.
I have GERD too and was on Nexium and Reglan. I had a severe reaction to the Reglan. My gastro doctor had me on 20 mg before each meal and at bedtime to help my stomach move food into the intestine. I started having difficulty concentrating and had trembling in my limbs. Then one Saturday morning, I woke up in a black hole with severe depression. I stopped the Reglan but the depression didn't go away.
I also had a hysterectomy and can relate to your symptoms (except migraines) as well as many others. My worst symptoms were SEVERE depression, fragmented sleep, horrible hair loss and graying, skin aging, and vision deterioration (very blurry vision).
Estrogen has helped a lot and, in fact, cured my severe depression and helps immensely with sleep. I am still not the person I was prior to being de-sexed but I am at least functional and no longer want to end my life.
If you take a med and it works for you then you really should stay in it. Prozac was working for you so there was no reason to quit taking it once you felt better. It's true that some people only need to be on meds for a short time while they're in therapy addressing their depression and anxiety.
It's not uncommon to have rebound depression and anxiety after stopping a med. It should be done slowly and you really need to work with your therapist during and after the process.
Your father in law just lost everything in his life, you can't expect him to bounce back so fast - everyone copes with loss differently.
He isn't depressed or mentally ill, he is experiencing very normal emotions because of very terrible things that happened in his life.
He should be sad! You would be too. He should feel like never going to work, and if I was in his shoes, I would be sleeping in the house too because it would be the only thing I had left.
Lastly, what type of depression do I suffer from because regardless of anything I am always depressed in the spring time?
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys.
Thank you.
Ive suffered from severe depression and anxeity for several years. You've already made a huge step by recognizing what your going through. Many hospitals offer support groups for women with PPD. Also make sure you're aware of the signs and that your SO or whoever youll be in touch with often, is aware of the signs too. GL hun i know its hard. Just know you're not alone.
I am now experiencing horrible clinical depression. For those who are much wiser about this than I, is severe depression something to be expected when stopping/drastically lowering narcos? I can't see my way out of this (I am seeing a doctor). Everything looks so hopeless and dark. This depression came on rather suddenly. I am terrified it won't end, and almost can't stop crying. i have no support system.
