Sometimes my depression and anxiety consumes me especially when I'm not feeling well and is under a lot of stress. I don't like how meds make me feel so i don't take them my health is wearing me down mentally

Welcome to the Forum.

Becareful stopping and starting you prescription medication. Often times it is best to wean off under doctor instructions.

What medication do you take? Do you think you have been on them long enough to notice a change?

Hold on I'll check the bottles one of them make me nauseated

[Darknlovely504 in reply to Elaine1963]

Only taken one kind 3 times

Hydroxyzine pamoate i never took those and trileptal was given to me awhile back only took a half of 1 on a few occassions. Escitalopram oxcalate is the most recent 1 which causes nausea

I am not a doctor but I would let the the doctor know it is making you nauseous. Anti-anxiety and anti-depressants are not cookie cutter medications. It can be annoying figuring out what works best for you. I have been down that road. I won't share my experiences but know you are not alone.🦋

Deep breaths;
