Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I am on 2 different medicatiions to deal with my depression, and I feel as though my 2nd medication is not doing what it should, and I have an appointment to see my doctor this week.
I still am terribly fatigued, have serious memory problems, and mood swings. I hate living like an invalid.
The problem is I'm terrified to go off of the medication I'm on. What if everything get's worse again?! And I go through SERIOUS withdrawl when I don't have it. Has anyone else attempted to switch medications?
I know that most of the fear is just a symptom of the depresion. (Panic and parania are part of the package)

My doctor has been trying to find the right medication for me and so i've been switching like every month or couple of months. I notice that i change a lot when i switch and my mood goes up and down and side effects come and go. It's not easy. And things might get worse but they could potentially get better too.

Well if it is the second medication you feel is not doing you much good there is not so much to lose. You also still have the one medication that is helping you. I would say you are in luck.

I switched meds before and didn't have a problem with it

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
