This is my first post. I have had depression and anxiety for 20 odd years. Caused by a serious car accident. It has not been easy. I have taken the same medication off and on (more on). It has been great. No side affects, I feel like I am not on anything. The times I went off of it was due to lack of info from Therapists. No one told me even on meds you can still get depressed. So, I would feel a bit depressed, freak out and Therapist would change to something else. But, always came back to correct meds. What is getting me right now. I am having a hard time. Crying, no sleep. There are a few things going on in my life that have never been before. I am terrified my meds may not be working. I have not felt this bad being on my meds before. I have a new Therapist who did add a mood stabilizer to my meds. About 2 weeks into trying it I started feeling so depressed. I stopped taking it. Doctor said if I do not feel it working to stop taking it. So, I am complying with his instructions. Could that new med have messed with my antidepressant?? Changed the chemicals in my brain in a bad way. I am just trying to figure out what is going on with me. Has anyone gone through this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

What you are going through sounds really terrible and I am sorry that you have to go through this. From my experience, your body can surely react negatively to the wrong medication and even after you stop using it. I suggest telling a physician and your therapist about this problem immediately. I hope that you feel better soon. Best of luck yo you, stay strong and keep us updated xoxo.
You are the only one who truly knows your brain. Remember, lol, doctors are ‘practicing’. Feel better.
I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. Everyone reacts differently to medicine, I would contact your Dr. & let them know how you are feeling. Wishing you peace of mind. Love & Hugs!!!
Hello Toosad!
Good 1st post! I think it’s sooo hard to figure out exactly what’s going on with me and you. It’s such a guessing game. My symptoms are different this year and I have had to let go of knowing exactly what’s wrong and move straight to helping myself see the light of day. Sometimes I just can’t figure it all out, but I do know what to do to feel better when I’m ready. Thinking about it too much can send me towards ruminating over it, which leads to more depressive feelings. I feel myself rambling, so I’m going to be quiet! Have a great day!
Sorry it has taken me so long to reply to all of you. Your kind words helped so much. I am feeling much better. I can laugh now when I think of what was causing my problem. My Dr. advised me to start taking B-100. He said is good for nerves system. Not mine...lol. I stopped taking it a few days after I had posted here. I have odd reactions to meds that no one else does. I was once given Xanax for anxiety but it interacted with my depression medication and caused me to have a anxiety attack for 2 1/2 months. Stupid Dr. Kept telling me to give it time. Was a 800 number where you could speak to a pharmacist who after doing some research told me about the interaction. So, I am good now. Once again thank you for all of tbe positive words....
