My depression wasn't so bad yesterday. It's really terrible today, I've been crying all morning and I'm at work. My weight is becoming a huge issue for me. Someone has suggested taking Selenium...
I hope I didn't offend anyone by my post, I just meant that sometimes when you're sick it's hard to get everything done that some people are able to push off to their significant others. It's also...
While I think everyone on this site is great and supportive, I feel like I can't relate to a lot of the posters because their married or have significant others. It shouldn't seem like a big deal but...
Thanks for your respons els. I know I have a hormonal imbalance but I can't find anything that works. I really do not want to go on medication again. I haven't found one that worked for me and for...
Hi Moonflower, I can really relate. I'm predisposed to depression and anxiety and some days are just unbareable. I'm trying to do this without medication since I had bad reactions to the ones I...
/community/emoticons/sad.gif I'm back and so is my depression. I've been up and down a lot since my first post but it's really bad again. I have had some bad experiences with medication and after...
One final update. I had some serious panic problems from this one day on Effexor and decided that it isn't the right medicine for me. I'm going to call a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist later this...
Thanks Migrunt. I think medication is not for me. I read the WebMD sites that you posted and it was helpful, so thank you for that. My social worker isn't helping me and I'm going to try a cognitive...
Thank you. Do you know of any sources that I can get advice on medication and if what I'm feeling is normal? I'm not sure I want to continue this....
I started Effexor today and I'm really scared. I've been reading some bad stuff about side effects and withdrawls and it's making me panic. I don't know if I'm on the right drug, my general...
This part really scared me....
My doctor just put me on effexor and after reading this thead I'm really scared. I just started today so it's not too late for me to stop. I'm a little bit dizzy so far but this is my first day. I've...
I started the Effexor today at lunch and I'm feeling dizzy. I know it is a side effect but is it something that goes away or you get used to?...
I called my general practitioner today and he prescribed Effexor over the phone. (We've discussed it before in person before and he told me I could just call and let him know if I was ever ready to...
Thanks everyone for posting. I thought I could wait to find a new doctor to get on meds but I don't think I can. I'm going to call my general practitioner in the morning and try to get an appointment...
I'm scared and resistent to going on another medication because I had such a bad experience with Lexapro. My life stopped dead because I was too tired to do anything, I could barely get to work. I...
I'm afraid I won't make it long enough to find another doctor. I think I have to get on medication soon....
thanks for responding. I went on the birth control patch for my ex-bf. It made me seriously crazy, even suicidal (that was post-breakup). I went off of it after he broke up with me a year ago. As...
I was on lexipro for a few months. It made me so tired I couldn't function. I also gained a bunch of weight and it made me feel emotionally numb. I couldn't take being tired all of the time so I went...
I'm new to the forum and probably sound just like all of the other newbies. I don't know where to start and couldn't possibly begin to tell my story. I'm really depressed right now. I've been in...
