depression

yes i have depression and axiety and i cant live without the meds....i have tryed and when i did i have had a mental breakdown which isnt good....why did u stop takin them? and does it help n how do u feel without them?

Yes, I suffer from depression, BPD and PTSD and I am taking effexor and risperidone. I want to stop taking my meds because they have made me put on so much weight. I put on 30kg with them.

I had deep dark depression.. it was long and nameless.. And that was why it was long, because it was nameless. Until one day it came to me, one line of scripture; it was the Lord talking to me. Just that one line and I knew. It was "blessed are those who mourn". It was like a light bulb. I realized I was mourning the loss of my original family (through mighty abuses of us children). After that, when sadness came (or anger, they're both the same, when sadness came) I knew WHY I was sad, I coiuld allow myself to be sad, and mourn, for, say, ten minutes. Then I could switch the gears and get on with my day! That was maybe 20 years ago, and it was the last of my depression(s). I mean everybody has a stressful day or two, or even a few, now and then, but notning like the deep - dark - depression, was. It was no fun. Since, too I've reconciled with my family, because I realized I wanted to have a mom and dad and my siblings.. Mom and dad are handicapped which I think of as self imposed punishment (?) and my siblings struggle.. Hopefully we are all a blessing to each other.. - Best of luck! If you can't quit all your medication, maybe a screening, to see what you can quit or lessesn.. I know my sister goes through a lot of medication adjusting..

I don't personally suffer from depression but I have a couple of dear friends who do.So I am aware of what they go through.

ohh god!!!!!!!!!why dont u join sm laughter clubs...n indulge ur self in self motivating activities..........

i pray...thats the best thing to ever do...you would have prayed it would hardly take 1 month for u to overcome it

How is that going for you or you okay? Yes, these days I tend to be depressed alot lately. I have a ruptured or herniated disk and a disk that is disintergating (sp) and my bladder is falling so I am going to have to have surgery for both things. Please pray for me. God Bless

I suffer from depression a few years ago. I do take some medication but stop after a while. I read a lot of positive and self-help books. And it have help me tremendously.

yes, i suffer depression in some situations and cases...i donth take any medications..

Here is the mantra for you-cheer up and gear up and march ahead

I guess every one suffres with depression in their lives . Its just some have to suffer a lot & some of them are succesfull getting over it . I donno but i feel i suffred for few months i dint seek any professional help But just went on big holiday back to my country & i was all fine back to normal.

I suffered from post partum depression after having both of my kids. After my first child (my son) I took Remeron and Effexor. After my daughter, I took Paxil, but that made me really shaky, so I took Celexa. I came off that, and got depressed again. I was then diagnosed as bipolar. I take Seroquel and Celexa now, but I'd like to change the Celexa to something else. I feel like it isn't working.

I always suffer depression and I dont use to take medication I just lift it to God all of my problems and I just read bible listen to joyful music.

I was DX about 9 years ago, But have sufferred longer than that, I am on celepram at the moment. but have been on Zoloft

I've been suffering with depression for about 5 years now, I'm on zoloft but it doesn't seem to work like I want it to. I guess it helps, but I feel like there could be something more..

I've been misdiagnosed as having depression and borderline personality disorder for the past 15 years, and have just found out that all the medications I took didn't work for me because I actually have bipolar disorder. Needless to say, I'm a bit peeved about being misdiagnosed for so long, especially as the anti-depressants I have taken in the past actually make the bipolar worse.

i had suffered depression while my hubby was over in iraq. my doc diagnosed me with post tramatic stress and put me on zoloft. it worked pretty well. i noticed a difference shortly after taking the 1st pill.

Not Much

I have suffered from waves of depression for many years, I have never spok eto doc, or mental helth pro about it so I have never taken meds.
