I’m New Here And Desperate For Help
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

My depression is getting outta control and I believe it’s some of the meds I’m on but idk which one so I’ve been trying to come off the ones I think may be causing it but that’s a WHOLE other battle on its own.
I’m taking cymbalta, Ativan, seroquel, mirtazipine and methadone.
I’m still waiting for a psychiatrist to see me. All these meds have been prescribed by family doctor and methadone doctor.

Has Anyone Tried Effexor?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

This is my first post, so I hope this is where it goes. But I have a question. Has anyone been on effexor? I tried zoloft and prozac and I felt worse than when I started. My doctor just tried to change me to effexor but I've read so many reviews I'm nervous about the side effects. I started taking meds really for anxiety but then I feel like my depression has gotten worse on the medications. So now I'm wondering if I should just try to taper off of everything and see how it goes. Honestly, they… read more

I've Read About Adderall Helping With Depression. How Do I Go About Getting My Dr To Prescribe It For Me. I've Been Suffering Mdd Since 2007
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Before my dad and mom's death I suffered from depression but meds helped, now I just want it all to end. I haven't been happy or been able to find joy in anything. I've lost all motivation for life. Is Adderall the answer? How do I get my Dr to prescribe it to me? I was told that I couldn't take my Xanax if I took Adderall. Is this true. Please help me to know the correct way to go about this. Also I just moved to another city and am waiting to see my new provider.

Dealing With Symptoms Or Side Effects?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

This is my own personal experience... I had been taking a low dose of Seroquel for about 2 ½ years, feeling very depressed and low, my psychiatrist decided to take me off Seroquel I was prescribed Bupropion. I feel like a lot of the symptoms that I was accrediting to depression, were side effects. Extreme fatigue, grogginess, difficulty focusing. If I went to a depressive mind set I would be consumed by suicidal thoughts. Another thing... I have a severe neck injury, I have been… read more
