depression medication? (Answers: 11) (Comments: 0)

Hey.... just want your opinion. I was on depression medicationf for the last year (effexor). I found that it often made me feel more depressed during bad situations and twice tried to overdose on the medication. (i promise i'm not crazy) I stopped taking it after the last incident... about 2 weeks ago and have felt so much better. Happier, more energy, motivation, etc. I know that i have anxiety problems.... when I think of a a bad situation... i can't get it out of my head and make myself sick thinking about it. i read an article today saying that people sometimes just have the blues rather than depression. my questions: how do you know if it is the blues or depression (i get devestated after break ups... moreso than normal people... i can't function). should i be on anxiety med instead of depression? why do i feel better now that i have stopped taking the med? should i get on something? if so, what works? i THINK is depression. i have been sad/upset for no reason for the last 9 months but it def got worse after my breakup in february. Efforxor sometimes helps, but (sorry boys) when I am on my period, makes me almost suicidal. I get so depressed and just do not know what to do. I am 24, very successful and a very lucky girl, but when i get upset, it is bad. I have tried to overdose on the med 2 times... either b/c of anxiety or depression... i honestly don't remember what i was thinking either time.

Depression/medication? (Answers: 4) (Comments: 0)

Sorry to put this in the parenting section, but the mental health section wasn't much use to me last time. I am twenty years old and have a son of my own. My youngest sister is fifteen, she was diagnosed as clinically depressed around eight months ago. I am near to the only parent figure she has - our Dad passed away when I was thirteen and my Mum is selfish and abusive. My sister has been through all different types of counseling and they're close to putting her on medication as nothing else works. I've seen her change from my lovely young sister to someone completely different. She suffers acute insomnia and she hardly eats anything. She did go through a period of drug use around a year ago but she has been clean for a long time. She is paranoid and frightened of people trying to talk to her. There's nothing else wrong with her, only depression, but it's so bad. She's lost all her personality and I don't even know anything about her now. She's had multiple suicide attempts, it's like she's uncontrollable. It's got to a point where I'm terrified to let her out of our sight, because any chance she gets she's harming herself. I've done everything in my power to help. She won't talk, eat, sleep. She doesn't seem to want to do anything and I'm scared that medication won't help. She hasn't been living with my Mother for months now, she has been living with me and my older brother sometimes and says she prefers this. What would you do if you were her parent? I'm so stuck on what to do now
