I've had depression for my entire life. Last year in October I had a full mental breakdown and was forced to go on anti depressants. It was hell. Stupidly I came off my meds in Summer this year and in October this year I had another mental breakdown. I started going on anti depressants and I got better by the end of the month. Throughout most of November I have been better, but unfortunately I missed a couple of days. I take two pills a day, and I got mixed about about my second pill. Two days ago my depression came back and I feel as awful as I did in October this year. It's really a struggle and I was wondering if anyone has experiences with this? Do you think this has been caused by me missing my pills? I hope so. I hope this isn't what's called poop out and my meds just simply aren't working. If I have to change them then I'll have to go through another month of this and I'm not sure I can.
sorry you’re going through that Joseph. I would say keep taking your meds and see if things get better. As you know they take a while to work. To avoid getting mixed up about the med in the future, why don’t you use a pill container for every day of the week? Then you will know if you took one or two each day. if you find the medication is not working after many weeks, then you can talk to your doctor about what to do next. Remember also you can always talk to a pharmacist about your medication as well as your doctor. If you have questions. Hope you feel better
