Common Questions and Answers about What to do when depression medication doesn't work
depression
Depression is really hard to fix, but many people do, either in therapy or combined with medication. Try to see your problem, or at least how I see it, as a two-part problem. The first is, your life isn't going the way you want right now. But that happens at some point ot everyone. The second is, you feel life is hopeless. That's depression. You can fix the first part by changing your life, as Mom mentions above.
We all have doctor certified documentation that Morphine does not work for us. I found out the hard way when I went to the hospital for what I thought was a very painful ulcer. Turned out I had idiopathic pancreatitis. They gave me morphine in the emergency room and it did nothing. They gave me another does and again it did nothing. The dr. finally had them give me dilaudid and within seconds of it being pushed into my IV line, I got that warm feeling and no more pain. The dr.
I just found out I was pregnant and I dont know what to do.
t really know what to do. My mom said it is my choice to make. I am starting to doubt my feelings, and if my depression is as bad as it seems. I feel like I've tried everything though, and if medication won't help me then what else will work? Basically, what I'm asking is does Zoloft really work or should I just wait for my depression to pass?
You do need anti-depressant medication. The generics don't cost that much and there are programs to give it to you for less if you can't afford it. Child support is based on how much you make. If it is taking everything from you, you should petition the court to pay less. There is a way for you to afford the medication if you make too much to get any state 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.
Do you only live with your dad? What about your mom? You really need to talk to someone. Can you talk to your school counselor?
I really don't think pot is the answer, although I understand why you're doing it. I know you just want to feel better. That's actually a good thing. It means you do want to live. As for the anger, anger is a symptom of depression, actually, so it doesn't really surprise me. When do you go back to the doctor who prescribed the medication?
If you add wellbutrin it will likely limit your weight gain and is a pure antidepressant, but it can be stimulating and so it's theoretically possible it will increase your anxiety. Paxil is a difficult drug to stop taking, and once you've taken it because it seems to be stronger in its affinity for serotonin and choline receptors it's sometime difficult for other drugs to work.

I felt before this like I was a spiritually strong person but when I got into this depression phase everything seemed to change. I just want my lexapro to start doing what it was designed to do. I want it to start curing. It does not help everymorning hoping and praying that the symptoms will go away and they never do. It also feels as if I am slowly loosing my mind and that I am going to blow up one day and loose control of my mind.
What I do know is that in some people (myself included) when the persons depression is of a severe level that it can be hard to find meds that work. I couldn't even list all the dozens of different meds I have been on in the past 18 years. More than I care to count.
It is very seldom now that my Psychiatrist and I even find a combination of meds that even works. When we do, they work maybe for 6 months at best.
I do wish you luck. Depression can be treated if you understand what it is and how to do it. This should be your main focus.
t make it until the two weeks and had to go and see him and that was when he gave me the zanax. I go to see him in two weeks. My thoughts become obsessive and out of controland have had rituals prior to be being put on the zoloft 13 years ago which stoped after being on the zoloft so I didn' know if being off it is the reason for the out of control obsessive thoughts. Sorry so long but I just wanted you know where I stand and if it looks like he might be on the right track.
