Should I switch anti-depressants?!
Question: Should I switch anti-depressants?
Answers:
Yes, switch to another SSRI, they can be switched with no withdrawal. The SSRI's are notorious for simply stopping their effectiveness, suddenly, just as you describe.
You may also be suffering from a second type of depression, a seasonal depression, like seasonal affective disorder, or situational depression, on top of medicine failure.
Don't worry about talking to a doctor, that's what they're paid for. And you won't surpirise one. Just write down symptoms ahead of time, olong with any questions, so you don't freeze up in front of him and shut down because you feel uncomfortable. That's what I used to do.
I wanted him to help me, but I couldn't tell him all that I was noticing because I'd get self-conscious, confused, didn't know how to explain it, and then tongue tied, feeling worse when I left than when I went in, lol. So just relax. He's there to help you
personally I hate antidepressants. but if it was working for you before, then maybe ur building up a tolerance to it. Talk to ur psychiatrist
