Do Anti-depressants really work?
I've been more depressed than ever in my life. Went through the last two years in a custody battle, and court seems to never end. Now, I've been depressed and have extreme anxiety for the past two months. I was thinking of getting on anti-depressants to relieve myself. Do they work well? What is the feeling you get when using them? Will they help me with my mood swings, and continued ruminating and OCD?
I've not had a period in 5 months, can i still get pregnant?
I've been having a fair amount of unprotected sex for the last few weeks. Since then i've noticed that my nipples have become increasingly sore and i've felt a bit under the weather. The only problem is i don't think its been long enough for be to be getting symptoms and i also haven't had a period on 5/6months. Is there any chance i could actually be pregnant?
I've also just started a dose of anti depressants...could this cause any symptoms?
Please help :)
searching prescription prices online?
i take several anti-depressant meds. they are very expensive. since its the first of the year , i have to pay full price until i meet my $3,000 deductable. the total comes to $886.00 for three months. thats not counting $100 for the doctor visit or the monthly insurance premium of $217. i'm currently unemployed and can not afford the price for these meds. it took a year and a half to find this drug "cocktail" that actually works for me. i've been doing great. my question is....i'm looking online at these "cyber" drug stores , many in canada. how do i know that these are legit ? my doctor even told me to look online. thank you for any help.......brent
Is it wrong for a 16 year old (me) to be on perscription Xanax, Zoloft, Propanol, Klonopin.?
I have Severe anxiety and Clinical depression. I take 2 50mg Zoloft anti-depressants every 24 hours, I take 1 10mg Xanax every 6 hours, I take a 15mg Klonopin when I am having panic attack, and I take 10mg Propanol when I have chest pains. I have a heart problem and my doctors don't know what it is. My panic disorder is horrible. So is my depression. These medictions I know help me. Without them I'd be feeling like I'd be having a heart atack 24/7. Like I used to. Are all these meds too much for me? I do not do any drugs btw.
Am i a sociopath? Please Answer...?
This is a long story, i will try not to bore you. I am sixteen diagnosed with major depression. I am constantly sick, i have no people i consider friends. I despise being out and about. I prefer staying inside alone. I've been asked out multiple times by this girl at my school, i say yes, i make out with her, then i don't talk to her for 3 weeks straight until she forgets about me. I haven't felt emotions in years, i don't feel love, lust, anger, irritation, or frustration. I don't feel love for my parents or my seven year old sister who apparently held me in high regards. My little sister and my mother died in a car crash just recently. I went to the funeral because i was forced to, i felt no anguish or regret. I didn't cry or feel sadness of their leave. My dad told everyone i was in shock, but i don't think i was. I've been on multiple anti-depressants, none changing who i am. I can say i have no idea of a time i felt emotion. Other than curiosity of death and of who i am. I took 40 of my Zoloft to see what it was like to feel close to death. When i woke up and wasn't dead i moved on. I'm curious as to what is wrong with me. I still feel no sense of sadness to my parent's and sister's death. I would be curious to see what kind of replies i get.
To add some further details, I'm on the Soccer and Swim team. Although it does bore me... i wonder if being bored is an emotion?
has anyone totally regreted a medical termination and now feel lost and empty please no awful comments?
I had a medical termination 2 weeks ago it was such a hard decision to make at the time I was suffering with terrible depression and had had my tablets changed and my thoughts were everywhere.When I found out i was pregnant i was happy about it and had my first mid wife appointment, I then started to feel very poorly with sickness tiredness depression and dizziness, I really struggled to look after the 2 children i had coz i felt so poorly and my partner was working away, it struck me then that i was struggling with the 2 children i had, and we have barely any help from family or friends also my oldest is autistic and quite a challenge.I then panicked i thought i am not going to cope with no help. When I spoke to my partner he just said do what u feel is right.I had no one to talk to about my situation and was ripped apart with mixed thoughts.In the end i went a head with a medical termination thinking this was the best decision (even though i still had mixed and doubtful thoughts on the day) i just kept thinking about being ill and my 2 kids sat with bowls of crisps watching tele and me laying in bed so poorly.I was also concerned if any harm had been done with me taking a high dose of anti depressants.Now I feel completely lost, empty and total regret. I sometimes look round baby shops and wonder what it would have been like if i had continued with the pregnancy, i think about it every day and night i feel numb inside. Please no harsh comments the whole thing has been heart breaking
