I have suffered from depression and anxiety for close to 15 years now and a few years ago I finally went to the doctor and was put on medication for my depression and anxiety. I was on my anti depressants for six months and hated it. The doctor had to keep upping the dose because they would work for a little bit but than would stop. Also getting used to the meds was hard on me and I was sick the first few weeks because of them. I did eventually go off the meds because I hated how they made me feel. Maybe it's just me but for me the meds made my emotions feel like they were fake. I have lived with depression since I was 13 so it is something that I am used to but when I was on the meds it just made everything feel so fake. I am not sure if that is normal or maybe I just needed to be on different medication but it has made me weary of trying them ever again. My depression is still going strong so I really want to be able to get out of bed and live my life instead of wasting away but I hate how medication makes me feel so I don't know what to do. If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it.
