Depression Understood Forums

I don't have the determination I need. I don't have much of anything, no motivation, no self esteem, no self confidence, no will to live, since my husband left me for someone else after being married for 27 years, and divorced me.

I am feeling that there is no way out of this deep depression I am experiencing. I have been awaiting an appointment with a psychiatrist, I'm on a long waiting list. My medications have been changed many,many times so far and nothing has even come close to helping me feel better about life. I am afr...

So maybe I should ask my gastroenterologist if he can either prescribe an antidepressant or at least work with my primary card doctor in finding the right one. Right now I am taking only a low dose of paxil, an add-on was recently stopped because of bad side effects. I really feel awful tonight, not...

Hi, I am ok today, not great but I am here. Feeling kind down today, you know how it is. thanks for asking. How are you doing?

No, I haven't seen the pharmacist that I usually talk to there the last couple of times I've been. There are some others there, but none I really feel comfortable asking. If you're willing to look into it, that would be great. I have trouble talking with people that I don't know well. thank you so m...

Oh, I see. I don't know why, but I never even thought about asking them-good point. Thank you.

I hope so and quick

Oh, really? I never thought of asking my pharmacist, I will do that. Thank you.

Just stopped taking this, I gave it 2 weeks and it was giving me what my doctor called mini seizures, also bad belly pain. He had me stop taking it.

I am having such a hard time for the past couple of days with this overwhelming sadness. My depression continues, but yesterday and today it has such a tight grip on me, that I am not sure if I'll be able to shake it off this time. I have been crying since I woke up this morning. I know the holidays...

Dylan, Ya know, that makes sense, it really does. When I try and hide my depression from others, the inner grief builds up and if I have to hide my emotions from my family, which I often do, I can feel the pressure building. Once I am alone and can finally let it go, it comes out ten fold. It's no w...

Thanks Dylan.....I used to be able to control my emotions, but since my depression has gotten considerably worse, they just seem to have taken over my life. I was taken off antidepressants altogether at one point, because they all were bothering me. I finally told my dr. that I needed to take someth...

I am having a rough time tonight and I just don't know what to do. I don't have anyone to talk to. I am crying constantly. I just went to my doctor today and he prescribed a second antidepressant which I know will take a couple of days to work. I joined this forum a couple of Sundays ago when I wrot...

Does anyone have any input about Abilify used for treatment for Major Depression? By the time I read all the paperwork that came with it, with all it's many, many side effects--I am too afraid to use it. OMG, how can they put this stuff on the market for depressed people to take? If anyone has infor...

Eric,
Yes, I got em' all. I am getting ready to email you in a minute or two.
