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'm taking Pristiq but I think that it is pooping out (stopped working)
You probably know this, but they all work with different neurotransmitters
I think that Bupropion increases dopamine (kind of a feel good transmitter).
I've known a lot of people who feel nervous on this.
There are many that work on serotonin, Prozac, Paxil, zoloft and many others.
Pristiq works with serotonin and another one (tricyclic??)
Then there are the much older tricycle medications. It seems like all of the ads on TV are suggesting that people take an antidepressant and then something else to boost it! I usually let my doctor know if things are still not working after awhile. The hard part is coming off one and going onto another
Good Luck with all of ths
