this is my previous post, some may be familiar with it since then, i have doubled my dosage again, i am on 50 mg of zoloft. i'm living with my parents again, i still don't have job and i'm no longer seeing a counselor. i'm still having the horrible embarrassing episodes. last night my friends didnt have the gas to come pick me up from my house, that set off a hugeeeeee psycho spiral of depression. its so extremely stressful and irritating because nothing seems to help my depression anymore. even being around my friends, i still feel suicidal and insecure about everything. i'm so upset because my boyfriend [of one year+] doesnt know what to do, or how to help my depression subside. he feels unloved, like he doesn't even know me anymore. so i guess i'm asking for advice on options nothing helps. as for marijuana, because i know people will suggest it, it reacts with my medication so i can't use that option. any advice would be very helpful. love one, love all. peace :]
the best advice i can give is to get off zoloft. SSRI's dont make people better, they change things for the worse. please look into alternative ways of helping yourself. ten years from now, you dont want to be depending on any pill to keep you 'sane' or 'normal'.
Hell yea i second that ^^^ If doctors could perscribe marijuana I bet there wouldn't be nearly as many people depressed. But instead they give them suicide pills and turn them into zombies. Seriously if they don't work go to the doc's and tell them to give you something that makes things better, if they say Paxil or Prozac (other SSRI's) just like punch them in the face or something.
While that may be true for some, these pills actually really help people, and their quality of life. A friend of mine had minor depression and social anxiety. He was put on Zoloft, and Xanax. A year later he is not using either of those substances, and they immensely helped him and his life for the better. Just talk to a doctor, if possible, talk to a few, and get a couple opinions. Keep trying, help is out there, I wish the best of luck to you.
