In reply to SCARED Pdoc wants to raise meds again, posted by tampagirl70 on November 16, 2004, at 9:27:51
You have to accept that the low mood might just come back out of the blue.
Antidepressants will not make you feel good all day around. Normals, not depressed, also experience ups and downs and it's completely normal.
I think if you fuss about it you make it worse. When you feel sad just ignore it and tell yourself that by next morning it will be away.
Believe me, medications are strong but human will is much stronger! Before couple of weeks I was down, I decided not to raise any medicince but rather to stop them all. I knew it will go away by time, and it really did after 3-4 days.
Using antidepressants in depressed patients can be counterproductive. The drugs might increase the patients sense of lack of control and helplessness.
Don't forget the will power you have and practice it :)
I am not suggesting stoping the medicine augment it with mind power!
