I woke up again today unrested, I seem to dream a lot about different people I use to know. Only literally just woke up and logged on to see if anyone else posted their experience etc, so hoping for a good day trying to be positive

I was called manic depressive, and I've had depression for about 6 years. I was on Zoloft and Resperdal and Hydrozyzine becuase I also have anxiety. I stopped meds because I gained so much weight in a short time. Sometimes the meds worked other times felt like I wasn't on meds. I'm on my third therapist. That's another long story. Just started seeing a new therapist two weeks ago. I was called bipolar in the hospital but then my old therapist said I was BPD sobi have a multiple diagnosis.
If you want to talk about anything you can pm me.
I would recommend you get a good support group or therapist that has experience in depression. Of course, I don't blame you for not taking meds. But I slowly lowered the dosage to make it less traumatic for my body. I was on 100ml a day of Zoloft and took about a month to get off completely.
Did you choose to go off meds? Or did you talk about it with your doctor?
