depressed for no reason

It doesn't matter if I am in a room full of people or if I am by myself. I often have feelings of loss, isolation. and depression.

I am taking Pristiq but thinking I may need to have something added to that. Any suggestions?

I think you will definately benefit from some kind of therapy, there is no wonder drug out there that takes depression away, we need to fight it every day and not let it win, therapy will help you find the skills you need to do this.

Medication isnt always the answer, i found that out the hard way, go speak to your doctor find out whats available to you.

Fight your depression head on dont let the negative feelings win.

I have suffered from i was 19 i am 37 now and i still fight it everyday of my life, but i deal with it a day at a time and if thats too lond i take it a min at a time. Life is worth the fight trust me.

With out you possibly realising it you have made a positive step! You ask for "suggestion" which to me is a positive step in that you are looking for a better future. To many time with depression we get use to putting ourself down and seldom give our self any credit. A journey of a thousand mile starts with a single step.
Best of luck

How long have you been taking it? I've been taking Welbutrin since June, and my dr had to change my dosage several times before I even noticed a difference. I'm also taking Klonopin for anxiety, but he also had to increase for me to notice a difference. It has helped, but the depression is still there of course. Meds alone don't fix it, therapy is needed to get through it. I've been in therapy for a few months, it's a slow process but hoping it will help. I'm learning how to change the way I think and handle different situations, that cause me to be depressed and anxious. Best of luck to you :)
