OT: Depression Meds?

I think I am gonna talk to my new PCP.  There is some things going on in my life right now, and I just want to sit here and cry, and give up.  Anybody have any ideas?  I don't want to gain back the weight I have lost, or quit losing. Dee

Dee- Please talk to a professional.  By all means, if you need a shoulder to lean on, I'm a good listner but ultimately, you need to seek professional help.  Do you take anti-depressents?  I take Wellbutrin and swear by it.  It makes me even and everyone knows if I skip a dose.  Kinda scarry huh? Send me a pm if you want my phone number sweetie. 

 

BIG HUGS,

Christina

 

Christina, Thank hon, I am calling the doc this morning.  I don't take anything now.  I use to take paxil, but after surgery, it wasn't working, and that was all my other pcp would put me on.  Wellbutrin is one of the meds I was looking at. Thanks hon, and I may need to take you up on that offer. Dee

Dear Dee: Please do not be ashamed to talk to your doctor.  That is why they are there.  My daughter also takes Wellbutrin and it has helped her a lot.

I am SOOOOOO sorry to hear that you are not feeling good.  I am also sorry to see that you are still being bothered by people on the main board.  Please just stay away from there.  I pretty much gave up on the main board over a year ago.  Very seldom do I even go there, let alone post there.  They should be ashamed of themselves!!!!  This IS supposed to be a place for support, not cut-downs!!!!! We love you and will support you always!!!!

Dawn, Thanks hon.  I do love the Illinois board a lot.  I have vowed to stay away from the main board.  I just can't deal with them right now. You all mean so much too me! Dee

Dee hon. Talk to your PCP!  I am taking effexor xr 225mg for my depression and anxiety!  There is nothing to be afraid of or assamed of!  I will pm you w/ my number also, so if you want to talk!  PLEASE don't give up!!!  You have come along way and you are doing such a beautiful job!!  Surround yourself w/ good things and good people!  please call if you want to talk or a shoulder to cry on!!!  I know all about crying!!!!  Sometimes you just need to get it out!! Love, Kim

Good morning Dee, I am new and don't know you or anyone else on here yet, But I still feel for you, I take Cymbalta  and it does help alot,  I too am here if you need to talk to someone please let me know

I went through a very rough time prior to my surgery and my pcp gave me Lexapro.  It was a life saver.  I didn't have any bad side effects either.  It just made me feel more like myself and it stoped the constant crying and jumping down people's throughts. I was able to stop taking it about 3 months after surgery. But at the time it was a real life saver for me. Please talk with your doctor to find a solution that will work for you.

Dee, I am on Wellbutrin and Effexor...I got the ****tail thing going... I would say Wellbutrin, because the weight gain side effect is what I understand small.

Dee, please talk to your PCP if you didn'r already.A little something to take the edge off is probly what you need. I was there a few years ago and I wasn't even aware of it. We had some issues going at the time, and the Doctor put me on Prozac. I now can tell if I forget to take it, and believe me, it doesn't happen to often. You also know if you need to, you can call me. I will email you my phone numbers.  Lisa
