Two weeks of medication.
Finally broke down and admitted I needed medical help for depression. I was against psych meds for most of my life. Now the meds should have reached a certain level in my body and I am hoping this feeling continues. So far no ill side effects. https://imgur.com/QZAxWyK

They help a ton. Sometimes hard to find the right ones - common to have to go through several before finding the right fit. Glad for you!

What flavor are you taking. I’ve been on Wellbutrin, abilify, now strattera since first seeing my dr in December. Not sure what’s worked

I am on a low dose of Cipralex which is a form of Celexa. Escitalopram is the generic name.

I'm proud of you! Be prepared to adjust. I know I had to shuffle amounts and types around. It's a balancing game.

If you need them, you need them. It’s medicine.

One week on antidepressants. Still want to die all of the time.

The medication is not currently at a therapeutic level in your bloodstream. It takes 2-4 weeks.

Give it another week, the other side is nifty.

I hear ya. It's a fucken battle. Keep on taking them and keep in touch with your doc. You're worth it.
