In reply to should i go back on meds????help!, posted by Bonnie on May 9, 2000, at 21:29:56
Bonnie,
I am far from being an expert about this stuff...but....I am always willing to get bob's two cents worth! Although his 2 cents worth is worth more like $200.00 and mine really is worth 2 cents or less! So here goes...
I see one of two possible problems:
1. You have not discovered "your" med yet. Cam or someone like him can explain the whole complicated chemical complexities of the brain and how meds can (or can not) effect the brain, thus causing a change (or not) in your overall mood.2. Whatever brought on your depression 8 months ago has not been identified, dealt with, or it is still there in your face. Do you have any idea what caused you to become depressed?? Was there any traumatic event in your life? Was there a big change in your life? Was your normal routine changed in any way? Have you suffered any abuse?
Many of the people here can tell you that finding the root of the problem can make all the difference in the world. You are so young yet..try and find out the cause of your depression now, don't wait until you are in your 40's and have been suffering for years and years.
