In reply to tired of taking drugs..........wish I was normal, posted by angel1 on December 11, 2001, at 16:37:13
Angel,
What meds have you tried, and what are you taking now? What dosage? I do think that 12 weeks is a long time to get some type of response. Has your doc titrated your dose up? He/she might want to consider augmenting the AD w/ something - maybe a different class of drug.
Keep trying - there is hope.

> I am so tired of trying one med after another. I sometimes don't feel that much better with antidepressants. My boyfriend is always in a good mood and high energy.......his brain chemistry is normal. I can't remember the last time I had fun. All I do is work, sleep, pay bills and watch T.V.
> My boyfriend who I live with is afraid to get married and I want to have a baby. Life seems so empty. Is that a lingering sign of depression? Anyone hear of anti-depressant taking as long as twelve weeks to work?
> Sorry for being so negative.....I just want to be happy like I used to be. Thanks for reading my post.
