Depression.

I have been on all the meds and they basically have minimal effect on the depression,but certainly help the anxiety disorders.
I havnt tried any of the newer ssri's of the last 2 yrs but i believe they all the same anyway.
The very weird thing about my situation is that i seem to be "allergic" to anti-psychotics (Risperdal,Seroquel etc)
If i take these i just freak out,dont know what the heck they do to me.They are supposed to assist ssri's effectiveness in severe depression(you dont have to be psychotic to take anti psychotics btw).They have a very bad effect on me!

Anti-psychotics (from the very little I know about them), seem to be ****ing scary drugs, for sure. I feel they should should only be used in extraordinarily severe cases.

I'm doing well. My depression doesn't feel chronic. In that time I've largely moved on with my life and I've again become involved with some older friends of mine as well as new ones. The number one important thing for me is to always have something going on in my life or I will again become depressed.

Good stuff.
 
Also stay away from Tartrazine and MSG.
 
Tartrazine, yes - But what's wrong with MSG? I'm under the impression that its health implications were overblown (if not entirely fabricated)?

It would be on a case for case basis. I know it gives sinus symptoms for both me and my mom and it also seems to have interfered with my sleep.

I'm actually looking for a source for the stuff. Keen to try it on food, as a more tasty salt alternative.

I don't understand how anyone can voluntarily kick their own bucket. Think about all the stuff you're going to miss out on - Oculus Rift and other virtual reality, all the amazing video games and video systems, all the Marvel movies, uncountable TV shows and other forms of entertainment, all the future cars, all the future technology in general etc. Not to mention we're the first generation to even sniff the possibility of human immortality thanks to whatever magical things science achieves in the coming decades. The world of 2050+ is going to have crazy tech, and I intend to be around to enjoy it.

Come on people - you should need to be dragged kicking and screaming into the good night if it's time to go.

Hi STS, I remember a similar thread from a while back, but that might not have been one of yours.

Don't confuse thoughts with character/personality/self. They're only thoughts and feelings. You don't act on them ......... so what's the problem?

Most people have horrible ideas at some time or another.

i persistently have horrible ideas :p thanks for the advice :)
 
Just thought I would share.

I have been struggling with depression for a few months due to a soft tissue spinal injury. Six months of constant pain and poor sleep was having a serious effect on me.

I found I was completely unable to deal with stress and would fly off the handle.

Wife shipped me back to the doc and he prescribed me 10mg of Trepaline (Amytriptaline.). What a difference.

Don't be afraid to ask for help folks. I really feel like a new person.
 
I'm asking for help.. I am stuck in a routine and unable to appreciate anything mostly. Can sit in one spot just random thoughts all over the place, it's tiring.

First thing you need to know is that you're not alone in the way you feel. I'm sure someone here is going to come along with some advice for you soon :)

My 2c: The first step is always lifestyle changes. Exercising and eating balanced meals can have you feeling really great. If these feelings are recent, check any medications you may have started recently. Having someone to talk to can also help immensely...this thread is a good place to start.
 
Exercise doesn't work for everybody. My body doesn't work right - part of my issue. So I don't get that endorphin rush. :(

Except Trepaline is a ****ty drug.

There are better alternatives available. Go and read up on the side effects of Trepaline.
 
Anyone else here been prescribed trazodone and / or urbanol ?

Its been prescibed for me, but I am very hesitant to take these kind of drugs.

In the past I have used Venlor and had a really bad experience with it.

I had occasion to use Urbanol a couple years ago - Didn't like it at all, as it made me feel uncomfortable. I don't know anything about the Trazodone, but after reading about it, I am curious as to why you were prescribed it - Seems like a heavy drug...

I was prescribed trazodone as I struggle to sleep. But after reading up on it I am not sure its the correct drug. Thats why I thought I'll get others opinions.

But can I tell this to the therapist ? As they are the ones that studied these things.
