In reply to first wk on EMSAM - increased depression?!, posted by crabwalk on May 1, 2006, at 19:01:14
I have experienced rapidly deepened depression to a scary degree on several medications and even on natural supplements. If depression is a so-called chemical imbalance, well, from person to person we don't know what is out of balance. A medication or supplement could throw things out of balance even more or create a new imbalance.
My doctor complains to me that I am too fearful of meds and she squacks when I start something at a miniscule dose instead of the regular starting dose. But it is because of those scary depressions I have experienced that I am fearful when starting something.
Sometimes they say things will be a lot worse for a couple weeks before they start getting better. I don't know about that, never made it that far. I guess we have to make a choice to either keep going or stop it.
