In reply to I feel like I'm turning into an antidepressant, posted by knicknack55 on March 16, 2005, at 10:18:04
I understand how frustrated you feel, I'm finding I feel the same. I am now on 4 drugs having just added 2 new ones this month after 2 years of Effexor and Adderall and it just makes my head spin. Sometimes feeling like the drugs are bigger than me makes me depressed! Hopefully the resulting emotional stability and clarity are worth it. Best of luck to you and take care.

> Anyone else feel like this sometimes? It makes me kind of mad that I need 3 (yes, 3) antidepressants to function, and I'm still not even there yet totally. Although, I do feel much better, I will say, but sheesh. I'm taking Zoloft, trazodone to help me sleep, and wellbutrin. I can't take a full 'therapeutic' dose of zoloft, which is why I'm also on Wellbutrin. I currently can't switch antidepressants to find one that works better, either, as I'm about to be let go because of my depression. I don't want to rock the boat too much since things are somewhat better right now. :(
