Question about antidepressants?

2017-04-08 7:22 am

So I've been taking medication for OCD and depression over the past couple of months and I can't to really tell if it's working or not... I do feel like my mind isn't racing as much and I feel like I am thinking a but more clearly. I also feel like the depression isn't as bad. But I feel like it should have kicked in a but more by now. They say it takes 6-8 weeks for it to fully kick in. But I feel like if anything, it is just now starting to kick in. I just feel like it's taking its we sweet time. My dosage just went up so maybe that's all I needed but I'm still a little weary. I used to just want to sleep all the time, but now it's kind of like I have enough energy to not wanna sleep, but I don't have enough energy to wanna do anything else. It's kind of wierd. But I do overall feel an improvement in my mood. It's just, again, not as much improvement as I had hoped to feel at this point in time. Is anything I am saying make sense or sound normal at all?

It often takes time. Depression means your brain is not producing sufficient serotonin. Depression is common but easy to treat with antidepressants.-----------
Tell a dr. how you feel. There are good meds for depression. Zoloft works best for me but you may have trouble sleeping for a few weeks until your body adjusts. ----------------------
Then, find some big happy churches, attend age-appropriate groups there and have fun. Talk with the pastor/minister; where else can you get counseling for free? And always remember that God loves you more than you can possibly imagine.
