Does anyone look in the mirror and not recognize themselves? I do and do not recognize the person I see. Like some total stranger. I am thinking it is time for a med change. I have tried celexa, and am 150 mg of zoloft. And still feel like this all the time.

Hi BuckVet,
Yes. I can relate. When I was at my worst with my depression and anxiety I had trouble looking in the mirror. It just wigged me out. I couldn't do it for very long. 2 straight years of therapy (at times up to 3x per week) has helped with that and with the severe anxiety. I hope you find some relief with the med change. I know that's tough to go changing meds and dosages, so sending you good thoughts for it. Meanwhile, maybe just keep away from the mirror and do all the things that are soothing to you. Take good care of you!  E

Hi BuckVet09,
When I am depressed and I look in the mirror the sad, down feelings make me see myself as unhealthy and not looking good. That is one of the symptoms of the disease for me. Have you felt any improvement in the depression on Celexa or Zoloft? Maybe those aren't the best medications for you. I know it can be hard to change drugs because of withdrawal, side effects, and the wait time to see if a med is going to be effective. Your doctor could probably help you decide if it is time for a change. Caramel
