depression
"I started taking antidepressants in January. I started with lexapro and was on it for 5 months. It worked for a while then it just stopped. My doctor raised the mg for it and it still didn't work. Then I switched to Effexor. Had terrible side effects. I have been on brintellix for a little over a month. Due to issues at my doctors office, I had no medication to take for several days. I didn't notice much of a difference while taking the medication. But once I stopped, I noticed that I was more depressed than before. I was irritated easily and upset. I have noticed I've been eating a lot more while on the medication. Not okay. And I take it at night because it makes me tired. It has helped my depression some. I've felt more like myself"
