hi all...
it has been a while since i have posted. lately my anxiety has only increased and i've been experiencing horrible depression. it makes me want to sleep constantly but my anxiety doesn't let me have any good sleep.
i feel very alone. i was lying in bed tonight trying to think of who i could call since i feel so low, but i really couldn't think of anyone. i feel like i have no one.
doctor has me on 200mg of wellbutrin, but it doesn't seem to be doing much. this is disappointing since this is the first medication he's given me that hasn't had a bad side effect.

i'm losing a lot of hope. some kind of encouragement would be helpful.

Hi Emmma
Don't feel bad sweetie, no matter how many friends and family I have, when i'm depressed, i'm all alone! This is why I come here, then I feel supported by awesome people. And so will you.
As for your meds, how long have you been taking those? Give it some time sweetie. If you feel they are not working, may I suggest you go back to your Dr. And discuss it with him? He might adjust your dose or try something different. Antidepressants are not a one size fit all. So don't be discouraged should you try a few before finding the one! We've all been there.
Also tell your Dr. about your problems falling asleep, he might give you somthing to help you get some much needed rest.
Stay strong, and don't worry. Lots of people here will be there for you.
Big hugs
Eli

I've been on this med for about 3 months, but this dosage for only a month. I've tried maybe four other anti-depressants before this over the past two years. It's very discouraging to see no results.
I've got class in the morning and I'm feeling so awful that I'm worried I won't be able to force myself to go.

After 3 month and no results? I would definitely go see the Dr. And ask for a different antidepressant. Don't be discouraged, Im sure there is a medication out there that is just right for you. Seriously don't wait. Give your Dr. A call in the morning.

Hey Emma,

I am so sorry that you are not feeling well currently. I am glad however that you have reached out to us again.;) We care, and are always here to listen!

I agree that a call to your doctor is in order. Also, while you are there, can you discuss a therapy referral if you are not already doing work in that area? It can make so much difference!

Until then, keep talking with us. We are here to support you
