[.Netsuke.] I take prozac. Prozac is really strange for me...if I take too less then I'm still depressed and if I take too much then I'm numb and when I take what I'm taking now...its just strange...I feel...yet I'm numb...Its really weird. I spent a month testing my mother's Zoloft...that made me extremely angry and irritable like I was PMSing times 20. I ended up quite violent, but I hurt only myself afraid I would hurt my siblings, who instigate everything...
My family has a history of depression, my mother is on Zoloft and my dad's sisters are on medications, Dad is the only one that is abnormally happy in the family. I never new that I was depressed...I mean I felt unusually sad a lot but I always had something to keep my mind busy. When we moved I had some adjustment issues and then, being the natural empath that I am, I ended up taking on the emotions and problems of my friends when I normally had a thick wall up so no one could get in but when my mom found out about my suicide attempts she sent me to a therapist. I objected to that full on but I was forced to see her and then a year or two later I began seeing another therapist, who was more like a preachy babbling idiot then we moved again...I have to be careful to take my medications or I'll go into a dark depression. Ummm, call me an idiot, but I can kind of relate to you. I hate prozac because it makes me feel numb, it was the only med I ever really did take... oh, if you don't have the doctor help you get off of it... well, I don't know exactly but I got a REALLY bad rash and it was driving me crazy. My family has had a history of depression as well I believe, and I never knew I was depressed either. My parents don't know I have suicide attempts but my mom has found my suicide notes. My therapist was in "training" and she really didn't know me that well or tried to get real deep with me. I'm just a book closed too tight, and then I'm open and you're reading me, I got those secret hidden meanings so I'm often misread.

I know exactly how you feel. My mom wouldn't have found out if my friend's mother hadn't read the emails that her daughter and I were sending, they were suicide notes in themselves. I can understand being misread a lot...I get that too but most of the time I can't even be opened and I have a real issue trusting yet I cling to my friends because of it...its really contradicting.

Well... lets see...
*starts ticking things off on fingers*
1.) I took St. John's Wort for a couple years. It worked ok at first (although it made me light sensitive.... err... MORE light sensitive. Finally it got to the point where it wasn't doing anything at all.
2) My Physician gave me Zoloft and Seroquel. Those had nasty side effects of essentially removing all motivation from me and killing my libido, and actually did nothing to help my depression.
3) Finally went to a psychiatrist, and he took me off those and put me on something briefly that just made me incredibly anxious and violently ill. I don't remember the name. Rispardal?
4) He took me off that and tried Effexor XR, which I was on for about a year and half, until it quit working too. He backed me off that until I was taking a really small dose in conjunction with Welbutrin, Lorazepam (for anxiety), and Trazadone (for anxiety and sleep)...
Truth be told, I'm still not feeling all that great, and I'm subject to bouts of depression and anxiety frequently. The best it seems to manage is the reduce the time I remain that way. The odd thing is... although *I* can't see a difference, I've been told by others that they *DO* see a difference.
So, does that mean the meds are helping and I'm just too close to the problem to notice? Or does it mean I'm just better at hiding it around people to make them think I'm ok?

I couldn't ever see the difference. My mom always said that she could see a MAJOR difference but I never saw it and I told everyone that I don't see the difference and I still felt the same but everyone kept telling me to give it time...I've given it almost three years and sometimes...I don't feel anything at all.
