Hi Molly, I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through a bad time. I found that once I sought help for my depression I found dealing with the panic and anxiety much easier. I think I will always be prone to depression and will probably be on my meds forever, which isn't an issue for me. Like you tho' I tried many anti depressants until I found one that worked for me, I think we all have different tolerances and make up. My medication now is Venlafaxine ( not sure what its called in the states ), but as the moderator said , your doctor should be working with you on this. There are hundreds of drugs out there, and awful tho' it is, sometimes it really is just a case of finding one thats right for you, which takes time I'm afraid. Whatever drug it is,give it time to take effect. I know I wanted an immediate ' light bulb' type experience i.e all would be better immediately, and got very disappointed when I found this wasn't the case. I know this might sound daft as well, but don't underestimate the power of a good sleep or rest either, its just so important that when you are depressed, you get good sleep, and a little outdoor activity too. Hope this has helped, and you feel better soon. You can do it !!!
