grrrr.........I spent a half hour typing a post then had to register, then my post wasnt available anymore. My first post was a literary jewel and now I am so ^#%$& this one is going to suck...
my comment or question started with my doctor prescribing Effexor which I havent started yet but this is my fifth or sixth anti depressant and my question relates to:
Will any antidepressant help me if my depression is caused by real world things and not by the infamous inbalance in my brain as I am told? I wont bore you with my problems but let me just say my problems would depress just about anyone and they are not things that will go away. They stem from medical problems and not something imaginary. Does any of the above make any sense at all?
Also my worry about the going off my anti depressant for ten days before I start on Effexor revolves around the possibility that the current anti depressant is actually helping me without me realizing it. If this is true I am going to be a basket case when I am on nothing for a short period.
I have a call in to my pharmacist and my doctor to further discuss this but I will not go off of my current medication until I hear something from somebody. I would very much like to hear from someone here who may have had similar thoughts to mine. And if there is anyone out there who is having similar thoughts to mine......sorry....
