How do I cope with feeling nothing? At least it's not depressed feeling as per usual, but I just feel empty and nothing and hopeless. I stopped taking my meds because they don't help at all they just made me suicidal and my pdoc and cpn just don't listen!! So I took it into m own hands and stopped taking them, I'm not Sui any more, instead I feel either apathy or really depressed and my energy's gone again. I don't know if this is better, because even though I was suicidal I had my energy concentration etc etc back. I'm just confused!! ~ jess x

Just quitting meds on your own is a super bad idea. It landed me in the hospital last year. If you don't feel you are getting proper medical attention then get a new pdoc. I'm sorry you are feeling this way. Hang in there.

you should def talk to your doctor about this. But don't go off the meds cold turkey, or even on your own if you can help it. That could be REALLY REALLY dangerous. If you go off on your own try to tier downwards, but best to do it on doctors orders. So talk to the doc - apathy can be a "side effect" that the doctor should work with you to fix. Maybe you need to find a doctor who will listen to you =/ sui as a side effect of meds is really bad

I'm sorry you're feeling apathetic and hopeless. Maybe this is a sign that the meds need to be INCREASED? Medication for depression is far from simple. Sometimes you have to try half a dozen pills before you find the one that works for you. Are you in psychotherapy? It worked for me.

i have weekly therepy, then see my pdoc every 3-5 weeks depending on how bad i am and when he can fit me in. they upper my med which made me reeeeally suicidal, so they'd gradually bin decreasing it but Im only on 10mg now! and it doesn't do a thing. i was on 20 before and still feel suicidal, so thy might put me on 15. i just can't see it working. I've not had my med for about 3 weeks now and am negative / anxious about starting back on them again because i know they made me really suicidal. i guess telling them i stopped taking them would be a good idea but id just feel like i was showing i don't care, which my mum constantly says its my own fault because i do nothing to help myself (which isn't true, i do loads, I've just reached a point where Im hopeless about anything actually working!) i guess i wish i knew what to do with myself. i wish my parents were more understanding (they are completely supportive!!) but there's no way i i can tell them without them biting my head off what would you do? do you think i should start my med again, or should i just tell them they aren't working and that they need to listen to me and try something new. we've been trying to get the dosage to work for like half a year now!! to me i just think its never going to work. it did at first though but just ... stopped working. ~ jess
