Depression and Anti-Depressants??

[emily_the_spoiled]

Hi Jenn,

Unfortunately people are right in saying that everyone reacts differently to medications and some will poop out. There are alot of other meds that you can try before you go to something like Adderall.

In the mean time you might want to talk with your MD about trying some of the other SSRI's such as Luvox, Celaxa, Lexapro, etc. If those do not work for you, there is an older class of drugs call tri-cyclic antidepressants. These drugs have side effects that are different than the SSRI's but you might find one of them works.

In the mean time PLEASE do not use any herbal medications (such as St. John's Wort). Many of these drugs work similarly to the SSRI or interfer with them, both of which will result in bed news for you.

If you would like a few more suggestions for meds (from your online pharmacist) please contact me...

I stopped the St. John's Wort... it gave me a headache and I felt really really agitated. I think it was conflicting with the Prozac.
