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.
Im wondering how you know the medication is working or not. Ive been on Wellbutrin for 6 months at 300mg and have been on a rollercoaster ride. For a couple weeks I feel good then something happens that takes me back to the deep dark horrible thoughts of me and my life. Luckily for me, its not clinical depression. Mine is brought on by an incident /certain situation. Unfortunately, Im having a hard time moving on from my situation and its just killing me. Ive never been depressed like this in my life so I wonder if the meds just are not working?
I did go see my doctor yesterday and she added a 2nd medication for me. When I asked her how I know its working or not she just said I wont have the dark thoughts anymore. Do you agree? How could you tell?

of course, im not you tho...
personally, i would say you'll know they're working when you can deal with those dark thoughts in a way that helps you get rid of them... like thorugh therapy
of course, im not a dr either...
