I Need Help

My depression seems to be getting worse each day. I feel like I can't take this much longer. I know I won't hurt myself, but I am faced with these feelings of despair nearly every waking moment.

No matter what I try, or who I talk to (including therapist), or what I do, the depression lingers. I recently tapered off of viibryd and have now been on Prozac 20 mg for not quite a week. Going up to 40 mg next Tuesday. It seemed to help me a lot in the past.

I am crying so much lately. I feel desperate for relief from this pain. Just wanted to get this out. How long do I give the new medication before it's time to try another antidepressant? Thanks for reading.

I am very glad that you say you will not harm yourself. It is my prayer that your statement is truth.

I am no expert at meds or the body.... but my understanding is most of these drugs take 6-8 WEEKS before they build up enough in your system to help. Sorry I could not be of more help.

*HUGS to you.

Thanks for responding. Just knowing someone is out there really helps.

you are welcome. GLAD to know that something helped you!

Hope you feel better soon. Prozac was good to me, it took a couple of weeks to feel better
