medication change

[maldonado85]

I made a phone call to my doctors today in hopes they will change my depression medication. I have delt woth depression and anxiety sonce my teen years and am now 33. I have tried every medication I swear I could for this and I was finally given Wellbutrin and Buspar together a couple years back. For the first time in many years I finally felt pretty normal. I had thought after a year I was good to come off of them. I felt i did good for a while and about a year ago my depression kicked back in but not as bad. I was put onto Celexa 25mg (tried this as a teen and didnt work) I felt ok but not back to myself. My doctor and I agreed to give it another 6months after the last appt. well the last few months have been very hard on me with my depression and anxiety. Dealing with personal family issues and tons of other stress i hit very low. I started cutting, i have lost interest in everything. Im not motivated at all. I have put on some weight even though my diet habits havent changed. And all that just keeps adding to feeling so lost within myself. Since I had seen major positive results from the mix of Wellbutrin and Buspar together in the past I really hope that the doctor will agree to put me back on that. I really just want to feel normal, to feel motivated and not tired 100% of the time.

Yes I heard back today. They have agreed to change my medications back to what I asked them. However my doctor still wanted to keep me on the celexa as well and increase the dose to 40mg. The nurse who called me from the doctors office as well as myself said this would be way to much at once and I said I do not want to take the celexa anymore. So she agreed with me and forwarded to the doctor who finally took that away. I’m really hoping to see a positive result again this time. I really can not take feeling the way I have for the last 4 months anymore.

ocd awell as depression,maldon the only draw back is you have to work your way up fro 25mg tto 100mg but the smaller doses have side affects,if you can persivier,when on

100 its well worth it.thats what have found anyway,maldon by peek
