I’ve never understood why depressed people would stop taking their meds. I’ve been on anti-depressants for nearly 20 years. They aren’t perfect but I hated how I was without them.
I’ve heard people complain about the jitters on Prozac and Zoeloft.
He got overwhelmed and busy at school and missed his doctor’s appointment and then felt embarrassed and the doctor wouldn’t write the prescription.
I would have called the doctor and just told him how busy I was abd asked for prescription.
He’s not used to dealing with doctors or regular medication, and he’s refused to see a therapist which I think would help a lot.
Plus, I think he’s immature.
He’s about to graduate from college. I’m hoping he comes home for a year. Our church has a depression support group and we have great mental health facility by our house.
He should have taken the year off, but he thought he could handle everything. This past week he’s been a mess.
I actually think the depression started his junior year in high school after he had mono. My husband was diagnosed with cancer and then lost his job right after that. All of us were pretty depressed and not thinking clearly.

My mother told us that she wanted to feel again.
How sad is that?
