I'm done. I have no clue what I have (dx wise) but I'm just gonna post here anyway. I'm just done with it all. They can have their meds, I'm quitting it, I don't care what it does to me. I'm done with the therapy I'm done with going to the pdoc I'm just done.

It can be such a struggle (understatement) to battle through day after day of assaults from without and within... I send you hope.

There are meds that help but it can take going through a lot of them to find one. Please don't give. There is always hope that tomorrow will be better. Stay safe.

Adespota, sometimes I feel like saying to hell with it all - - meds and therapy included - - because they're just not improving my depression at all right now. I can't give up though, because I don't know what else to do to help myself. Please don't give up the fight, and keep posting.

I can't seem to convince myself not to give up and even my friend can't, though she's trying.

Don't give up. I know you can get plain exhausted fighting depression, but the alternative isn't great either. Take care of yourself and keep posting.

If you do decide to stop, then save your remaining pills and even get the refills (before they expire). That way you will have them on hand if you feel like you need/want to start again.
It's much easier to have a good supply than to be stuck with nothing and have to worry about getting an appointment just to get them again... getting motivated to make an appointment that you'll have to wait a while for in order to get meds can be tough when you're in a bad place and if you've got a good supply on hand you always have the option to get started today with almost no effort. A very good option to have. Also google your meds for withdrawal / "rebound" effects (my psych told me that's not withdrawal that's a "rebound effect" after not warning me about it in any way). Sometimes not weaning can have bad consequences, sometimes not. Not advising you to stop obviously but that's my advice if you do decide to. |

So the rebound and withdrawl was not fun. The withdrawl of Pristiq caused just a lot of dizziness. Latuda rebounded for me and I started getting really suspicious of people and getting weird thoughts and got freaked out because I thought my dream was going to come true. I guess I don't have much of a choice now... I hate the side effects so Idk what's worse. Oh well, I guess I'm stuck in this system now.

It sounds like maybe they've decided that they aren't going to blow off all the hard work after all. I'm glad to hear that. After living with mine for some 28 years now, along with my bipolarity (funniest word ever) I know that starting over again and again takes it's toll on a body. It's always better to simply accept and move ahead. Even with the many setbacks that come with both diseases. Genetics suck and not a one of us asked for this mess. It is ours to cope with as best we can.
To that end, I hope the original poster finds their way today, through the night, and again into tomorrow. It's always so hard, but it's worth it. Good luck to you, Adespota.

Yes I've grudgingly decided to keep taking them. I guess I'm just tired of being sick and so threw my hands up and wanted everything to go away but that's really not going to happen I guess. And thank you TippPat I appreciate the kind words. You're probably right that its easier on my body if I'm not going on and off and on an off meds.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
