Depression and Anxiety medications. I am not getting any help with my medications.

Don the only solution to getting rid of my anxiety would require quitting my job. Can't do that. And believe me...I do drink. LOL

I'm fairly certain medication does me more good than lining some drs pockets that really doesn't understand me.

Why can’t you quit your job and create a job you like?

If you don't mind, please tell me what medications work for you. I am struggling with depression and anxiety. It is so frustrating! I have tried Zoloft, Sertraline, Risperidone, Bupropion, and Lithium. None of these have provided relief. Thank you for your help! :)

I have a neighbor who lost his wife a couple of years ago. He became very depressed, and even talked about suicide. Finally, he enrolled in a program at a nearby hospital, and within a short period of time, he began to return to normal. He now has some new hobbies, and he went to the animal shelter and got a nice little dog who has become his constant companion, and he takes NO drugs. Check it out.

I feel sad for those of you, trying to get some sort of normality in your life.....Depression sucks.....anxiety sucks.
I have been lucky in the fact, that the meds i take are ones i've used all along and for years, except one kind had to be increased, fall of 2019.
Can't imagine the roller coaster some of you must be on, trying so deeping in something that works, and allows you some degree of peace, and a well deserved type of life.
I entered in some counselling, over the years, in a lot of ways, it helped me understand some of my challenges. haven't been for quite some time, but will if the need arises.
My depression was, compliments, of my 2nd marriage, sorry, that's the only way i can state the cause without writing a book.
No two people will have the same cause, same meds, or the same outcome......but.....what we can do, is be of caring, supportive, and a good listener......we don't have to be doctors, to help in our own way.
I welcome anyone, needing any of these, i'm a good listener.
 
prozac works well for some people, so does lexapro....

and drinking alcohol is not allowed with most of these types of meds so it should be avoided. depression is nothing to mess around with it can be serious stuff. talk to your doctor..

My step-daughter has been on Prozac for over 20 years, she drinks daily. I would like to see her reduce her drinking, and take steps to ditch the Prozac.
 
alcohol is a depressant to so it's sort of undoing what the prozac is trying to help fix if that makes sense.
