going on and off any drug can be hazardous.. wouldnt stop useing anything that alterd my brain chemistry cold turkey.. and especially I would not try to kill myself with the mediation if I was not 100% sure it'd kill me instantly (this might be controversial so some but not to me). dont kill yourself, what are you trying to prove. you can still fight for a better life but it wont just come to you, you've gotta work for it.. be all that you can be and if that doesnt work just try to earn enough money to get away from it all and still be on medication, I'd guess that'd be that way you'd be most happy.. try to find your own way! ;)
Hi Lily,
My advice to you would be to tell your doctor exactly what is going on. Meds work differently for different people.
I'm in a situational depression. . .i.e. divorce, financial problems, etc. but the increase in my meds has taken the edge off what was a TERRIBLE depression.
Now I'm just dealing with a lot of issues, all or most of them hard, but I'm able to slug it out a day at a time.
This fall my depression was so severe pain was pounding through my body. That's gone, and I believe it's because he upped a med that had been working prior to my husband leaving me.
I for one really believe meds can help depression, but sometimes it takes a few trials.
I believe you CAN feel better. Please tell your doctor what's going on and you can post to me at:

I'm new to this site, but not to depression.This is the first time I've reached out like this. I'm 26, I've had problems with depression since I was 15. This is the second time I've been on meds. The first time I stoped taking them, had a major relapse. About 2 months ago I had a "what I call a mini breakdown" and slightly overdosed. I wasn't trying to kill myself, just tempory escape. After it scared me so much and stopped taking my pills. I have a family and am scared to admit to my docter what has happened. I am so alone trying to pertend I'm okay. I have no support. No one really knows what is going on in my head.
