I've been taking antidepressants for about 7 years now. I've been on a few and finally found what works for me. I take Zoloft for anxiety and Wellbutrin to help with the side effects from Zoloft. Zoloft works wonders for the anxiety but I find without the Wellbutrin I have no motivation and become very withdrawn. Now I feel normal, thank God!!! I know with me it started with way too much stress. I must have used up all my reserve of serotonin because now I have to be on medication but that's okay. There is a real misconception about antidepressants. People need to be educated so there is less of a negative stigma attached to it. Diabetics need insulin and we need serotonin. If anyone is having a difficult time I am also available to talk anytime. No one needs to go through this alone. There is obviously many of us here who have been through it. |
