Forum:

I am a person who has had depression on and off for 10 years. This year I had an episode and I've tried 3 antidepressants and 1 mood stabilizer. Nothing has worked. I've had small times that I feel ok, but lots of anxiety and depression.

Is it possible, that the drugs could make me worse? Or agitate me?

I want to take drugs that help, but worry that things are making it worse

Hawk, just posted asking you about this in your previous thread. Lol.

Talk to your doc about temporarily stopping the meds to see if it would help. If you don't want to completely stop it, ask about changing meds.

Yeah I am going to email him. But I'm also looking to switch psychiatrists too. So it's complicated.

I'm worried about getting worse, but the meds seem to make me worse.

If you're not satisfied with your currently psychiatrist, I agree that getting another opinion is best.

It never hurts to get a second opinion...
