My new PCP has started trying to find the right meds for my depression (dysthymia). In doing so, I feel so out of sorts. First it was Celexa. I had no energy, I felt phantom pressures and pain the depression got so bad, and I felt on the verge of tears. I am not trying Zoloft, and the phantom pains went away, but I feel jittery, anxious, kind of dizzy and unsettled, and still... I feel like I'm going to have a breakdown, tears included.

The kids, the crying, the loud noises, internal thoughts... I want to cry, and I feel so lost and alone, and I just hate this. How the hell do you deal with this stuff knowing that the meds are influencing it? I feel like I'm going to start crying over nothing.
Hugs from:
happy 2 b here, spondiferous

You are not about to start crying over nothing. Meds are a serious issue. See you Doctor about getting off them completely, then you can start crying with real feelings! and learn much! Cognitive therapy can help you cope and learn.
Thanks for this!

I think it is more that I need the right meds that do not make me feel like crying for no reason than to stop taking them completely. I need them to help manage my depression, and now that I am on different meds I feel much better.

I'm glad you found meds that are working better. The nightmare cycle of trying different meds and having to navigate the symptoms...I have ended up in hospital due to side effects. So yeah...happy you found something more bearable
