Unfortunately it takes time to get full affect from meds (no matter how little that affect seems sometimes) Most would say there is no way to "cure" depression. Sadly most of us just strive to get a little better as the years go by. You are never alone though

Medication hasn't worked for me either. Just have to keep working on it. One day at a time.

I don't know either. I have really been struggling the last few days. I want to try passiflora complex that someone mentioned here but I haven't been able to get myself to the store to get it. It's supposed to be available at Whole Foods..

Hi amanjutt,

Please go back to your doctor for a mental health check up.

I know your pain I have my good days and my bad days a lot of my anxiety attacks I thought were heart attacks in the beginning because of the physical symptoms I was always having (heart pounding, dizzy, impending doom feeling, breathing difficulty) but after years of having them and talking to doctors and therapists I realize now when I have them they are just anxiety attacks but they can be very scary for sure if you don't know what it is in the beginning. I hate taking RX meds too so it's a double edge sword, I feel like I trade one problem for another when I take the pills the doctors give me and all the side effects that come with them. To be honest I have been using medical marijuana for the last few years and I feel it really helps me and doesn't have near as many bad side effects. I know it might sound crazy but look into it and try a sativa strain it really helps with mood, anxiety and depression. But use a low does if you never tried it before
