day 6 cipralex/lexapro. managed to get some sleep tonight, but still nowhere near enough, or refreshing. I'm staying in my bed, drawing. I feel really weak. not feeling that much pain today, just tired, and fatigue. worn out completely. overall I feel hopeless, and empty. I hope this med will help me.

I hate that you have to wait so much for an antidepressant to start work. And in the meantime depression gets worse, in the first couple of weeks... I really hope to see some positive change soon, because my days are so empty, I have absolutely no energy. It's hard to explain this feeling I am experiencing. It feels like somebody beat the crap out of me...

And it's also really difficult that I don't seem to be feeling anything. I know that's a huge part of depression. I can't even feel sadness, I don't have the energy to be angry, I'm just hopeless, empty and incredibly weak. feels like my soul had been sucked out.

when will I know this med is actually good for me? 2 weeks or so? ty
