Understanding How Depression Treatment Works

Though many people are hoping for a quick fix?depression treatment, it simply doesn't exist. All antidepressants, whether homeopathic or pharmaceutical, take time to work. Unfortunately, people suffering depression symptoms don't realize this and instead throw out depression treatments before they have had the opportunity to really make a lasting effect.

Understanding How Depression Treatment Works

I know it takes time for some, at least 6 weeks I heard. But I get more manic than depressed

Me too Lost one and by the time I realize it, it is usually too late

And...when you have bp...you have to be very cautious when taking an anti depressant because they can have a rebound effect by making you more depressed. I've had this happen with a couple of them. It's good to know your signs and your body, and to be in close contact with your pdoc.

I'm just on the Lillium, so it's hard for me to know what is going on everything is getting different, like today, I am having trouble walking, but it isn't so much from the RA, but I am not sure if it is the Lillium, the fibro, or what, I just feel so weird and I am sick too, so I don't know what to think is what

Maybe you're on too many different meds friend. It happens when you have multiple doctors. I hope they are talking to each other.

hugs!!!!

I don't think so, the med specialist has me on only the Topamax, Lithium, Xanax, estrogen, and stomach pills. that is it nothing else.

I'm wondering about you and this Lithium..I'm not sure about the walking issues..but with your other neck issues..that could factor in. You really need to call the doc on this one. Not a good sign to ignore.

I'm waiting to hear from him.....it's bad now, Jack though I was drunk last night

thinking of you friend

thanks doc, he cut the lithium down to 600mg from 900 mg a day till I see him this is just too weird for me

Give it time

I am, I just hate the way I feel, like a puppet on strings and I have no control, it's better with the xanax, but I feel so weird, like I keep getting shocked and my skin is all red and I am bruising so easy I see the doc on the 4th

Terri

Thanks Michelle

Feel better soon Terry

Thanks Lost One I've been getting these purple like bruises, real easy; like from nothing. I went down to the Pharmacy today and talked to the pharmacist and she said it could very well be from the Topamax any way she said I have to have a complete blood work up to see what is causing it. I can't afford anymore lab work
