Ok I have been reading lots but quiet in posting and responding. I can relate to all post being written so far. I gave it my best shot had a few decent days but most are typical of severe MDD. I am barely functioning I truly do a few basic things like brush my teeth everyday shower every 2. Beyond that I'm exhausted all the time. Bounce from that to crying spells off and on all day night. Sleep is a mess can sleep long than can't sleep. Hopelessness, no motivation,energy or desire to do anything. No interest in anything anymore at all.
So all though I still agree that my old med wasn't working and I needed to come off it after 2+ mths med free I need to start back up on a med. Dr had prescribed bupropion 2 mths ago if I needed to go back on to meds. I will be starting it tomorrow fingers cross that it works cause I damn near feel I need to be hospitalized it's that bad. I also get that dreaded fear just plain old scared a little anxiety. I find this depression fear is just horrid I'm not even thinking of anything it's just there the feeling. Like we all do hope at times we can be without meds I hoped too I have done it before without, then with when needed. This time I need it. Hope it works and gives me that boost so I can feel well enough to get going on doing other things that will help me get stable. Fingers crossed that this ones work so I can start to feel better and not have to bounce around trying to find the right one or combo. Been lucky in the past sermonette worked for me minor side effects got banned went off it cold turkey no withdrawals. Med free for years then on Celexa worked for many many years added trazadone for sleep. Weight gain a little sexual side effect glad to be without those now.. So this one will be the third I try hers to the same success. I'm always scared when I start a new med that is when my all my anxiety issues kick in cause lack of control and body response. I know it will subside it's the first day that is the worst.. Scare the heck out of myself and I might not even have any side effects . Will be using all my CBT then some for sure

Needing medication isn't a crime. Give yourself a while to settle in with this new med unless the side affects are dreadful, then go back to the doc. Good Luck.

I really hope it works for you. Wellbutrin doesn't have the sexual side affects and no weight gain. It is very activating.

Thank you for the support I need it beyond expression I swear it has gotten so bad this time . I have little breaks short ones when I am relatively calm but most times crying or scared .
Has any one split bupropion 150sr in 4? I have always tapered slowly up on previous meds even going up practically in crumb size pieces although I think I could go up faster this time. My dr knows about my wanting to taper up |

i so want a med to work on my MDD. i've just been coping with it for years. but i too get the anxiety before trying new meds. after not really trying anything for a few years (pregnancy and whatnot), i'm back to trying again. i tend end up with side effects - this last med left me so sick it was like morning sickness and i ended up with insomnia (which i'd been sleeping decently before). made me worse off
 now we're going to try another and i'm feeling the anxiety.it's not bad to need meds. some of us... some of us just need something to grease the wheels.

Hope this new med works for you, with little to no side effects. Meds are there to help.

I'm sorry to hear you're having a tough go right now FH. I'm doing a med free period right now as we speak. I'm still in the midst of withdrawal so I'm unsure if what I'm feeling is related to the rebound of symptoms or the withdrawal of my medication. I hope you feel some relief soon.

I understand that I hope you do well. After the worst of the withdrawal was over seemed like I would be ok had a good week. Been all downhill from that week. Heard the worst news today that will impact every part of my life.. I don't know if I am going to make it .
