In reply to WHAT MEDS WILL HELP ME???, posted by carolina on July 17, 2005, at 11:12:42
Unfortunately I wish I could help you. I'm in a similar boat as far as trying a load of different meds, none which really helped me out. At least you eat right. I don't have the motivation enough to even eat more that one meal a day.
Your drug list is the same as mine. I've tried many others as well. I also have no motivation, energy, etc. My depression makes me want to do nothing, all of the time. I'm a lifeless shell of my once former fun-loving self. To be honest, I'm only around because I'm married with 3 kids. If I didn't have them, I'd be a suicide statistic years ago.
Wellbutrin is about the only drug I tried that gave me some energy. I took it for years. 450mg/day. I might go back on it, we'll see. It never had any AD effect for me, at all.
I'm very sorry to hear about your assault. I can't imagine going through something like that. You sound like you're on the right track though, in being a survivor, and trying to help yourself.
It sucks that some of us have to go through life battling just to stay alive, and maintaining some form of happyness. Life DEFINATELY isn't fair.> hey everyone-i just needed some input and after reading some forums, see that ya'll may be able to help...I too have been on several meds. but none of which help long term (6+ months)I have NO motivation,energy,etc. I am always fatiqued? I eat right so i know that isn't it. 4 years ago i had more energy than I knew what to do with and was NOT on meds but after a sexual assault where the person drugged me in 2001, NOTHING has been the same. I NEED HELP!!!!!!! My doc and therapist know this but nothing is getting better. After my close call w/ death 9/02 (suicide attempt) I commited to getting help 110%. It's now 2005 and i am so unhappy but not many can see through my mask-to them I am a b*tch but deep down i hurt and want to feel better. I tried to tell my therapist i felt i was going to have a nervous breakdown again last week but she was busy.(It was our 1st meeting,my previous quit) So far i have been on .....
> prozac
> paxil
> wellbutrin
> lexapro
> effexor-currently
> buspar
> xanax
> ativan
> clonazepam
> klonopin
> valium
> I know there are more but i can't remember all of them.Does anyone think it could be environment related? I recently went to FL to see my grandparents and for 1 week i didnt have migraines,panic attacks,wasn't fatiged and felt comfortable in public??? Please help-im hanging on by a thread- blue skies in carolina
