Antidepressants - getting the balance right
My son (aged 23) has been on
antidepressants
for about a year (his tbi happened 18 months ago). His GP is wonderful but has struggled to find
antidepressants
that do their job without huge side effects.

I’m a Newbie
Hello, I’ll try to make a long story short... After my husband left me in December 2017, the following spring my doctor diagnosed me with extreme situational depression. I was put on Lexapro ,and it helped immensely. In October 2018, after months of rejection, I landed a great job. The beginning of

Mid 20's drop in libido
I'm currently working really hard at coming off the
antidepressants
and introducing positive, healthy habits to help me cope with low days, and that is the forefront of my focus currently.

Wellness?
After some full on operations I was put on
antidepressants
. Which made me extremely suicidal and have since been hospitalised again. I asked my onc if I could choose to stop treatment as doing this with young children breaks my heart every second of the day.

Tips for exhaustion /anahedonia?
Just needing a way to get myself out of bed and started on the day, and restarting if I end up laying down again. Trying to stay away from drugs atm since I'm almost 8 mo pregnant (I'm okay making myself eat and not suicidal at all - - figure I'll get on a BF friendly antidepressant postpartum). I do

Blood test readings
I am still unclear about my blood results. Not sure if I need to be supplementing B12 or iron both of these were not highlighted by the lab but someone here suggested they were on the low side. My thyroxine is now down to 75mg since coming off lithium. It may still be too high but I won’t know until

Healing depression through diet and also I need a hug.
I'm going without taking
antidepressants
for the first time in years, and after about 10 months, I'm back in a depressive episode. I'm just so sad. And so anxious. And so irritable. It's awful. I was so proud of myself for doing well without meds for about 7 months.

TMS Therapy?
It is suppose to be another alternative to
antidepressants
or combined with them. I have been on countless medications over the years. The problem is the gruesome side effects. Plus When my mania is severe, I forgot to take them.

Natural anti anxiety remedies
I really dont want to go down the route of
antidepressants
especially as I know it could take 3 -4 weeks before they kick in and I could feel a whole lot worse which I cant afford to feel as the course is only on for another month.

Feeling frightened
I am worried that she will advise me to stay off my
antidepressants
and I don’t know how I’ll cope. Any advice gratefully received.

MASS CONFUSION REIGNS AGAIN ... for me anyhoo
I just find it hard to understand and believe that I need to take so many different types of
antidepressants
. They also mentioned the use of Zoloft, (which is taboo for me to take), as it is for all RLS patients.

How do you change antidepressants?
I think the Lexapro I have taken for 4 years has pooped out. I am going to mention this to the doctor at my next appointment in July. I know a lot of times people have to change meds. I had a really hard time starting medication as I have a pill phobia and really don't want to take anything. I got so

RLS. Research
Hi haven’t been on in a long time as my issues resolved upon getting off ALL
antidepressants
and cholesterol meds. I can have a tendency towards restless legs if I’m dehydrated over tired or drive too much.

I called the helpline
Hi, so I called the helpline because I was feeling really sad about the fact that I’ve taken every antidepressant that exists every depression treatment that exists even ketamine infusions that aren’t even approved by the FDA yet and cost $3000, and I still cannot get better. I lay in my bedroom day

Hello all! A lot of you have been following my journey through dialysis and recently transplant, and I really appreciate all of the support that you've given!
