Ask him or her what they think -- if they think a higher dose will work, or a different med.

If you've been on your current med a long time, a different one might be best. But if you haven't been on this one that long, a higher dose might work better.

Good luck -- I hope you get something that works really well! :)

Thank I've almost been on my meds for two years

invisible...you could try a higher dosage and see if that works, OR go for a different med entirely. If you dont mind my asking ,what anti-despressant are you currently taking? I could recommend what Im taking which is generic Lexapro 40mg. It is the only one that really works (and believe me, ive tried them all), without the bad side effects. Also, please look into taking vitamin D-2,000 mg. I started taking it a couple weeks ago & can notice a definite difference. Good luck & let us know what happens.

i have a pdoc appt tomorrow. i don't know bout u, but i'm asking them to change something cuz this isn't working. i'll leave it up to him them whether it's a dose change or a med change.

We're all different ... so side effects may be different for each of us.

I've been on Effexor, Paxil, Lexapro, Remeron and I also tried Wellbutrin and Prozac.

Now I'm on Zoloft and I really like it .. no side effects for me.

Two years ... it might be time to switch. :)

Yes I've heard meds start to not work anymore after a while people need to change, I guess we become Ammuned or what ever to them, I'm on wellbutrin, cevrolux and serquel. Don't know how to spell them. Thanks for all the advice

I would tell your doctor that you don't feel that the dosage that you are on now with your meds are working and how does he feel about your going up on some of them to see if that helps. It sounds like you are afraid to ask him/her? Don't be, if they aren't working, you either need to go up or try something different. I had to go up on my Prozac and I didn't have any problem asking. Let us know if you get them upped and if it helps. Hugs

Thanks

Review with your doc...tell him/her how you felt before the meds you are currently on...what they have done for you up until now and then describe how you are feeling now. Uping your dosage MAY be the way to go OR a different med is required. Only your doc can make that determination.

Good luck and I will be thinking of you. Let us know how it goes.

My drs give me a survey every visit or gave me a survey since I no longer go.. They would then talk to me and tell me what they thought on whether to increase or lower my dosage...

Good luck!

It went ok I asked him if he could write me prescription for Ativan cause my anxiety gets pretty bad, he didn't think changing dosages of my other meds and didn't give me Ativan, I'm a little annoyed at that he said it was because the meds I'm on should be helping both anxiety and depression but feel as I don't know just if they where helping would be so anxious and depressed still? But he's going to want to see ne again in a week or two.
