Hello. A few months ago, I was diagnosed with depression. Since then I was put on an anti-depressent and took it for about 2 months. I stopped taking it because things seemed to be going better. However, things only seem to be getting worse, now. I can't do anything right. No matter how hard I try, its never enough for my marriage or my family. I don't have kids. Wanted them my entire life, but now I just don't. I just want someone to talk to.
I was just recently put on an anti-depressant as well. I started taking it about two months ago, but my psych said that it can take anywhere between 2-4 weeks to start working and for it to fully take effect it could be a couple months. Also because it does mess with your seratonin levels, its better to stay on it for at least 6 months or a year so that your hormones and seratonin levels don't keep fluctuating and the symptoms don't re-occur when you get off of it. Maybe you could go see a psych or doctor to prescribe another one and keep taking that for a while and see what happens. Also if you need someone to talk to, I'm around and need a buddy as well.
