Sally,
I too had terrible problems with anti depressants they wacked out my body so
bad and never helped with the depression. Majority of my depression is due
to pain and no way to escape it, if they fixed my pain level and got me back
to a semi normal life I am sure the depression would get alot better.
I suffer with terrible anxiety and panic disorder now, and when ever they
try to use a medication to combat those I end up with worse panic attacks
and anxiety. So far there is only one med that helped which was my mothers
ativan that she gave me. Even though I have asked repeatedly if I could use
this drug they just said no because I take way too many medications that are
sedating as is.. My medications don't cause me to be tired, if anything they
can give me a boost so I am able to walk around.. I am so tried of hearing
this drug should fix this problem and that problem and they never seem to do
diddle with me.Often makes me wonder if I am losing my mind..
Hugs
Kimmi
