Should I change my depression meds? Help?!
Question: Should I change my depression meds!? Help!?
I'm taking Zoloft and Welbutrin to manage depression, my doctor switched me from Zoloft to Cymbalta for anxiety about 6 months ago, but the Cymbalta wasn't doing it for me so she switched me back to Zoloft and Welbutrin about 3 months ago!.
Since going back on the original combination, it hasn't worked like it used to!. I'm not really anxious anymore, just depressed like I was before taking any meds at all!. Why isn't it working like it did before!? My depression was under control and now I feel crazy again!. My sleep is all screwed up, I've gained a few pounds, don't like stuff I used to, depressed again - all the time; all the usual stuff!. Should I wait a few more months to see if I feel better!? I really hate changing meds, it takes forever to find something effective!. Any advice!?
Btw - don't tell me to pray or do yoga for depression! (already do yoga)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am taking Zoloft and it does works wonders!.!. i stopped taking it and now am in the process of getting back on it!.!.
It has already been 3 months so I don't think it would wok if it has not worked till now (dose increase!?)!. Maybe shift to something like lexapro!? one of the benefits of lexapro is that it starts working 'relatively' quickly about 2 weeks!.!.!. it can still take up to 4 weeks for the full effect!.

I know, that's the trouble with these meds!. It takes so long to figure out how they are working, and then your own body seems to change!.!.!.!.
I hope you are working with an actual psychiatrist, not some other doctor; when it's tricky like this, you need a specialist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
