My depression/anxiety medication is always challenged by one crisis or another.
I am amazed at how well the medication works. I have some serious family crises going on right now (or any given day). I became depressed for one day, which scared me, cause I felt a hollow deep in my chest. This is how I used to feel most of the time. I could not find a place for myself all day, could not motivate myself to do a single thing. Luckily, the next day I was back to feeling good, despite the fact that the same crises are happening.
I want to encourage you to seek medical help if you are suffering from anxiety/depression. And if you are taking meds for the symptoms, and are still not feeling good after weeks have gone by, then you need to tweak the meds and/or find a new doctor.
My current doctor is determined to have me get a full night’s sleep. He feels that I can feel so much more relaxed and productive if I sleep at least 8 hours a night. So he has increased the trazodone to 200mg! Along with the 8 mg of rozerem. He is convinced that eventually all I will need is the rozerem. Well, I am sleeping longer several days a week. Still not all the time, but there is some definite improvement!
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. IF YOU ARE READING MY BLOG, THEN YOU SURELY ARE SUFFERING. PLEASE GO TO A PSYCHIATRIST.
