Hi there,
Please keep on going, there is no magic bullet, it takes a combination of various medications and therapy. No one drug is perfect or works 100 percent. Often, you have to augment them with various others to get the desired effects, and even then, they won't solve everything. You will be okay, but you have to get used to medications and accept some of their side effects. For example, each SSRI has given me different side effect, some of which are uncomfortable. I've made the decision to put up with this because the little alternative is far worse, that being depression and anxiety.
I have had my depression and anxiety flare up off and on for a year now, but hey I'm ok! I take things as they come, am patient, and overall like I said, I'm ok. My med saren't perfect, but they help.> hi, i feel very depressed for 5 months now, i noticed that i am weaker atm, i do not want to engage in social contacts, i dont go out anymore
