About six months ago I felt on top of the world planning my wedding. As soon as that was over I went on a low so docs put my antidepressants up and now I feel like I avoid people. I say hello and that is it. I'm in stressful job but don't know what to do as I have little confidence and don't know if changing my job would help. I sometimes feel like the medication isn't working. I don't know what to do I have felt better for a time but that was when I was planning my wedding.
Hi Helen,
It is normal to feel a bit low after a major event. There is so much build up to it and then when it is over, it is like.."Now what?". Give your new med dosage time to work. If you are not feeling better in a few weeks, then call your doctor back.
Hi mimibrenda I agree with you about the big event and what now? But felt this way before. Feel like I have no confidence. Struggle talking to people and have been on higher dose for two months now. Sometimes just wish life was easier and I wasn't always fighting this demon. Unsure of whether to change job as that is very stressful.
