Hi i am 23 years old and suffering from depression. I have been perscribed fluoxetine to help me and temazepam to sleep. I feel that it is doing nothing for me and i have been taking this for about a month. Has anyone else had problems with these drugs? i am gettin to the point where i am thinking about stuff i shouldn't but i can't see that light at the end of the tunnel. I feel helpless, trapped and alone. i don't know what to do anymore.
Someone please reply i need another view on it!
Also i was wondering if anyone reading this has this following problem at all?
When i went to the doctors and was diagnosed with acute depression i told him about my temper and he said that this is because my tolerance levels are at zero. I'm not so sure it is my depression though, I go past anger and it's more a rage. I completely lose my head and have no control over what i do. I am a key holder at work and was working late one day when i could feel it bubbling up inside me and then i flipped i took a metal bar and proceeded to hit anything near me. i picked trollies above my head and threw them in to racking and across the stores. I have no idea why i go this bad but i am scared of myself and that someone i love and care for will be near me when i explode and i may do something i regret and lash out at them. As yet it hasn't happened thank god but every outburst is getting worse and i feel it's not if i lash out but more when.
Really i wanted to know has anyone else experienced an extreme similar to this because i'm confused about if my depression does in fact have a part to play in this.
I don't know what to do anymore. I feel that i am at rock bottom and still falling. I'm alone and so scared, i have no friends i can contact and my now ex girlfriend wants nothing to do with me. She has said she won't talk to me until i stop being a head case! She said we were best friends as well as partners but now she is calling me obsessive because i keep asking her just to come over and talk because i'm going out of my mind and don't know where to turn.
I have reached a point where i can only see one way out, i have written letters to certain people, planned a funeral and made a cd of songs i want to be played. I feel completely helpless and don't know what to do. No one will miss me because i don't have any friends, my phone won't ring for weeks at a time and then if it does it is my mum. I have no one in this life to worry about me so it feels no one will miss me when i'm gone.
I feel like i'm having a breakdown and there is only one escape.

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...
you might want to se yur Dr. again it sounds more like bi polor the just depression. my some gets the extream highs and lows. he goes into a rage and distroys things. some times he just sits and crys. he has bi polor.its really hard to deal with some times, you just have to keep trying. there is always hope, you just have to look for it. it may come tomarrow or next week but it will coome. hang in there and just talk im here to listen. and help if i can
talking to your doc about your meds is a definite, i feel. also, see a counselor about the anger outbursts. sorry i have no experience with outbursts like that... closest i've come is being extremely irritable when i'm in a bad depression.
you'll definately find people like you who are able to give you great advice and support. :) *hugs* just give us a chance, and keep talking to us!
You can get help with your rage through meds and through counseling.
A quick fix for getting out of your head is to do something for someone else. If you can't do it for you, do it for them until you can do it for you.
Hang on.
Stay strong!
I found the best medicine that helped me with I was full of anger, was EffexorXR.This medicine had a calming effect when it came to my anger. I never hit anyone, yet I was scared just like you.The only thing I hit was a cyder-block wall. I knew then
I had to get control. I had self-hate at
this time also. Zoloft did wonders for that as well. Hang in there! You will find what you need to get better!
