I feel like I'm losing it! All I want to do is sleep and over eat! I have this fear I'm dying! And I just like I'm going off any minute! I just don't know what to do I just don't know what to do i've spent all day in bed crying because I don't know if I'm depressed or really sick I really really can't take this anymore I really can't I just can't my doctor has me at 50 milligrams of limictal and 90 mg of cymbalta maybe that's what's making me so tired I just don't know

I am having same feelings except I already had it so long that do not have energy to react on it. Once a while I get really bad panic attack but most of the time just calmly suffer.

I had this stuff because I took too many antipsychotics. I dropped everything but it takes very long to get to normal. I am breastfeeding so I can not take any medicatio to improve stuff so suffering through it majorly. in you case if you do not have epilepsy than you might not need lamictal. cymbalta and other antidepressants do not give such major effect. it has to be the other one unless you take like sleeping pills and other stuff that causes withdrawal.

I hope something will improve it because it is scary. It feels like major thickness and that nothing can help it. In reality it can be improvee. One way to try is to go off all stuff and take ativan. If do not experience withdrawals from it than need take ativan till start experiencing withdrawals and than drop ativan. If experiensing good from ativan but than withdrawals than it is wrong thing.

All I ever do is sleep, eat and watch TV. I am always so angry, sad and depressed. I get my extremely short temper from my dad. I am so tired of all the BS in my life. My life totally sucks.

I recommend getting your blood tested for any and all vitamin deficiencies including Iron. Also start drinking hot wassail in the morning during wintertime. Here is a recipe : http://allrecipes.com/recipe/wassail-punch/

If it gets really bad listen to music that invigorates you as loud as you can stand it with ear phones I recommend this band : Covenant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnlGEQ1NUsk

Also you may want to try Lexapro it doesnt make you sleepy.

There is nothing like having a good cry and spending the day in bed. Having said that, there is also nothing like taking a walk on the beach on a sunny day.

What are you doing to feed your soul? if you don't feed it it will starve. :)

I suffer from depression as well, the kind that finds you staring out the window for hours with you mind blank and then wondering why you are here in the first place. But I have found something that helps. Niacin., yes, 2000 mg of the no flush kind and in a day or 2 my mood is on the upswing and I can think of things that actually make me smile. which sometimes hurts because I have almost forgotten what that is and what it is for.
My friends, we can get through this. HUGS
