I was taking Celexa, and I really felt better, except it made my tummy very upset and (sorry if to much tmi) I was physically interested in sex, but couldn't seem to feel anything. That was making DH feel bad and putting more stress on me so I called the Dr. He changed me to Wellbutrin SR, but only 150 mg. I had a 2 wk prescription and am suppose to get back with the Dr. But, I'm not doing so well. I do ok until a few hrs before it is time to take it again. Or did, now it's only lasting about 12 hrs. How long until it works. I'm so tired of these awful feelings. Tears for no reason, and I can't let go of things happening around me, building mountains out of molehills, even when they don't pertain to me. I seem to take everything so personally. Will it get better. I'm not sure I can last much longer. There's a lot of stess in my life right now, but who doesn't have that? I know there are so many people worse off than I am. But, I can't seem to get past this. This is the only place I can go to talk. I don't want to upset my family and I do appreciate all of you. Thanks for listening. Lendi
I'm so sorry you're feeling so bad. Maybe today was one of thos days. I felt very depressed all day. I haven't been feeling well either. I've been in a lot of pain and have taken some pain killers. That will tend to depress you.
I just wanted you to know that you aren't alone. Hope things get better.
Thanks, my family is home now, and that helps. I don't seem to be as bad when I'm not alone. I feel bad, but can hold it in better, which feels as though I'm in better control. DH is great, but he just doens't understand depression or what it can do. I guess I don't either, really. I think I'll try until tomorrow and then call the Dr. if I'm not better. I'm about ready to just save the money and give all the meds. up. I'm thinking the Dr. is giving up on me, too. I had also tried Remeron which put me in a stupor. So, that's 3. Maybe the Zoloft.
I'm trying to gear up to spill everything out to someone. Just not sure who and I haven't talked myself into it yet. Maybe soon. I appreciate your concern and let me know if I can be a support to any of you. Lendi
I am so sorry you are going through such a rough time right now,, but please don't give up.... it takes time to find the right meds for you... Trust me, I was at the point you are at one time,,, but I kept trying... I went through several meds thinking I would never find anything to help me... we tried things that helped most people.. we tried several different combinations,, and nothing worked or would only work for a little while... but finally we tried Zoloft and it worked... and thank god... I have my life back... well I say back,,, actually I never really knew what a life was before,, I had lived in a depressed state all my life,, so I will say I finally have a LIFE... please don't give up.. it takes time but there is help out there for you.. please talk to your dr and make sure your honest with him or her about how each med makes you feel that way you can make sure you get exactly what you need... don't be afraid to tell them something is not working for you.. thats what they are there for.... Best wishes... I hope things get better...

I called today and told them that I didn't think this was working very well. It takes the edge off, but I still have several hrs. when it's pretty bad. Especially in the evening. I tried changing the time when I take it, but didn't do much either. I asked if I could take a stronger dose, but was told to try this for another month then call back if it doesn't work. I'm not sure that I can handle it this long. I'm so glad I can come here and talk. No-one close to me has ever went through this and understands how I feel. It really helps a lot to have friends here to help. I'm thinking I might write all my thoughts and feeling down, then throw it away where no-one can see. Do you think that would help. I can't let anyone here see because they are involved to a certain extent. Not intentionally, though. My family is wonderful. Thanks and hugs to all. Lendi
PS. Good to see you back on Terra
