I take Cymbalta ,One in the day and one at night .It just don't feel like it's helping anymore. I've been taking it for a year now.
I took Celexa for years and when my mom died it wasn't enough please see your dr. There are better meds that work. Merry Christmas and God bless you 🙏 ❤
I have been diagnosed with depression & GAD and had a relasp for 3 months now.. no improvment at all! Waiting for out patient referral.
Generally I can just about cope with it day to day.
Real problems occur when I wake up at 4am and have little sleep, around 4hours.
Its annoying I have really bad cognitive problems then.
Very hard to read, follow plots on tv, follow directions. It's so debilitating.. Does anyone get this?And what are good ways to cope with it?
Have you had a good psych eval. I was diagnosed with GAD & depression for years-- fair to poor results. I recently had a major manic and have been diagnosed with bipolar 2. Put on depakote still… read more

Good Morning,
About three week's ago when I went to pick up my medication there was a note to say my Venlafaxine (Efexor XR) had been changed to a generic brand of the medication - Enlafax. I didn't think too much of it at the time
I have noticed a drop in my mood, I am increasingly more irritable and angry inside, my thoughts of self-harm and suicide have definitely increased, and I just don't feel "right".
I thought a bit more about what could be causing then then I had a light-bulb moment… read more

@A MyDepressionTeam Member. I know how difficult it is to deal with an Unmedicated ADHD
Child. My son was ADHD and not medicated because he also had Tourette’s Syndrome and the med made it worse… read more
Why does it seem like everyone I know who has depressive disorders almost all was sexually molested and later on in life follows substance abuse? Honestly really? It’s like we’re dealt a bad hand before we are even born.
Same here. You said Good delivered you from your addiction. I believe God or an angel saved my life many times. I woke up when I should never have.
We have been dating for 8 months, well going on 8 months next week Monday
He's told me that he has anxiety and I told him that it doesn't effect the way I see him. The main reason I am a bit unsure how to approach the situation is because of my previous relationship. I was made to feel like a failure and to be extremely weak, and his words felt like they ripped straight through me
I don't take medication due to the fact that it makes me feel worse and causes my eczema to flare up.
I haven't… read more
Make sure he has some time to talk and try to explain what depression and anxiety does to you and how it makes you feel. Hopefully then he'll understand why act the way you do. Maybe also let him know… read more
May dr says I have signs of ADHD but doesn't want to put me on anything because he said it will make my anxiety worse. Has anyone else experienced this?
Good luck! I will be praying for you!
Does anyone else feel like it is a mission and a half to find a good doctor?
Over the past month, I have seen 4 different doctors and they are all contradicting each other and I feel like none of them take me seriously.
My latest one (the "best" one so far) put me on Pristiq for 2 weeks. After 5 days the side effects were so bad I passed out. I called her and talked to her, now she has this bad attitude that I didn't try hard enough.
She also won't give me any help for insomnia, except for… read more
