Depression Support Group
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 going off Effexor fairly quickly to be put on Prozac. At first it wasnt so bad, but now it is awful. On top of it I am still dealing with my recent break up.
My depression has set in so bad I dont want to do anything but sleep. I feel sick all the time and have terrible headaches. I also just found out I have a sinus infection.
I keep thinking maybe I should be going into the hospital and getting my kids to stay somewhere. The pdoc said a hospital stay wont do much, but I honestly cant get anything done here. All Im doing is sleeping. I cant function at all and now with the depression and obsessions getting so bad all I can think about is taking all my pills and just being out of this never ending pain.
Im so sick of life. Im sick of struggling and having nothing. I am in the process of applying for disability and have started getting a bit of help, but they dont give you enough to live on and because all I want to do is sleep I have no energy to find all the information I need to keep the process going. I just want to give up.

And Stick with what ya know. I mean who really knows that that is not another train at the end of the tunnel. You never know, so maybe skip the all your meds.
Prozac...:-(
Being off meds is not an option for me. Being on my meds helps me not be so depressed, but the effexor was not doing enough for the anxiety.
Thanks for your thoughts though.

I was not happy about a med change because it wasn't all that long ago I was on a rollercoaster of med changes.
I just feel like I'm never going to be better and just feel so much like giving up.
