In reply to Breakthrough depression, any advice?, posted by Racer on April 16, 2005, at 15:21:39
>> There are so many variables involved right now that I'm not sure which is most important, so I'll list them all as briefly as I can. Whatever combination of these variables is involved in my current depression, I wonder what the best option might be right now, in terms of changing meds? Any bits of wisdom you care to share are appreciated.
Hi!
I certainly think that this probably is not the time to think of dropping meds...if you are going into difficult areas in therapy you need that support there!! What does the Provigil give you right now?
I agree with Maxime's comment--that these meds are pretty stimulating, may not help the anxiety. I do not know your med history, what else you have tried. I would think switching the Cymbalta for a different medication is logical.YOu are right, you are dealing with many variables--fortunately you don't have to choose to deal with one over the other.
So do the meds;
And concentrate on where therapy is right now taking you. I bet it is hard...Perhaps for now, instead of changing the entire dynamic of the relationship with your husband, maybe you can choose one thing to deal with--maybe say talk to your therapist about how to assert yourself with your husband regarding the car issue?
Relationship dynamics take a while to change. Sadly said from experience....so to feel less hectic try to target changing specific smaller things....maybe youd gain a sense of control in that way if even a little bit.B.
