Yeah, I still get very down despite the med's.

They have stopped the thought's of suicide being so frequent though, so I s'pose there's that to be thankful for.

Hope you are well!

Sorry, I am not on any meds. Wish I could help more.

me too, on both accounts. I have been on Prozac for about 25 years, and I didn't think it worked anymore, until I came off of them.

Last week my doctor explained that prozac also helped with anxiety and panic attacks, which again resurfaced after I stopped prozac for a year.

Clinical depression, I have that too, I guess we just have to be thankful for the few good days we have, hey, they could all be that way.

Perhaps you could talk to your doctor about additional meds during those time. I sure hate it when the world turns black......hope you feel better soon.

I think of my meds as a band-aid, sometimes the adhesive doesn't work as well as other days! I try not to dwell on the bad days I know will come, but live in the moment and keep my coping skills close at hand in the event of emergency.

I am on several different meds and I still have very low times. I guess that's just part of it. Too bad there isn't an "easy button" (like in the commercials for Staples) for making depression go away! Hang in there...the light will be back soon!

I was on prozac and it worked pretty well for me for a while... then I got very down and now I'm off meds altogether and feel worse. Have to say .lol at zazagranny's avatar I love it

Yes my dear, i am on antidepressants too and been on diferent ones as i feel like you do at times i wish i was dead and have atempeted suicide while still on antidrepressants, so yes my life too sucks and i hate it, i think when we are depressed so bad no medication in the world can help us and i know that for a fact! All i can say to you is hang in there thats all i do nothing else i can think about, i see people so happy and confident and i am miserable and so depressed. Why is life like this?

bump:O)

I was told I had clinical depression 14 years ago. I was on prozac then, then taken off. I was able to function until the death of my boyfriend in april 2002, but have hidden how bad things until about a month ago. I was put on at 10mg & about 2 weeks ago I was upped to 20mg. I am still having suicidal thoughts. I also have days so good that I feel I can step off the edge of a cliff & just float away. I do have to admit the lull areas seem to be a little less down than before. I don't know its teh meds or here tho.

I am trying to get into see a counsellor (they still haven't called me after 3 weeks). Finally found their number this morning. I'll be calling them after work. I also have an appt at the end of the month with my GP. I denied last time feeling suicidal.. tho I was feeling it. I think I'll have to be more honest & admit. I think I might be mentioning bipolar to her as well. I have had a couple people mention to me that they think I might be.

sorry for the long babble,

*hugs*

bump:)

Yeah still get the low times and the good times despite medication. Not on prozac, got put on it once, but it made me really suicidal worse than before it so was taken straight off it. Been on Trazadone for a few years now and it works for most of the time. In one of those times when i feel like i'm at the bottom of a pit and can't get out at the moment, so know where your coming from.
