I've been on many types of anti-depressants over the years and I got on some Celexa again last week. I know what you're saying about them making you feel even worse, but I think the key is staying on them long enough for them to really work their magic - sometimes it takes a month or so. On the other hand, you may be on the wrong type of med entirely. Paxil and Zoloft both work by boosting serotonin levels in the brain. The other two neurotransmitters associated with depression are norepinephrine and dopamine. Perhaps a different med which targets one of the other neurotransmitters may work better for you. Just be sure to fill your doctor in on everything and try to have patience, although I know how hard that is when you feel like you'd kill yourself if you weren't too depressed to move. The vast majority of cases of depression will respond to treatment eventually, it just might take a while. |
