Megaman - I suffer from depression too and one thing I have learned is that it is an illness which is unique to each individual, your experience will be completely different to mine. Advice I have been given may work for me but not for you and the same applies to medication.
I've been lucky with my doctors, if the medication isn't making a difference they change it which is a nightmare in itself coming off one drug, then a period with nothing before starting a new one and waiting for it to kick in.
If your doctor won't change your medication, is there another doctor you can see or another practice you can join? FWIW it's worth, I've tried several, they work at the minimum dosage and then stop so the dosage gets increased. This pattern continues until I get to the maximum a GP can prescribe and at that point I have to change.
It really frustrates me that they won't refer me to a specialist who can prescribe a stronger dosage as well as offering other therapies.
the question is what do I say him?
I guess if I tell the doctor the right things he may listen, if I tell him I have not been taking it that may not work out for me because he may just tell me too take it. He asked if I was in a relationship before and I we'll have too lie again and say yes I'm in a relationship or he won't even think about helping, I think talking too docters about hookers is not a good idea. I come off 1 day on and 1 day off for a few weeks as I believe there was side effects not 100% sure tho but I may have too go back on them meds again soon. I cant really tell if it is the meds that cause problems but it is the side effects I worry about. I think when you get older that's when the side effects get worse but I could be wrong. If I go back on them I may start taking them at night not in the morning.
I have heard of a antidresspoin that helps with sex drive and thats wellburtrim,bupropion,budeprion,zybab unless people here tell me I'm wrong? It has the less side effects anyway. I should be allowed too pick what drugs I put in my body it should be my choice not doctors anyway wellburtrim,bupropoin is the drug I want as it's the best one.
I seen 2 docters, one docter more or less told me that them sort of drugs don't have side effects and it's rubbish basically and the 2nd doctor said all ssris are the same and there's no better ones.
They also told be not believe anything I read on the internet so yes they think the side effects of drugs are rare or there is not any.
Well they change your meds if your off them or do you have too be on them for them too change them?
