(Venting) Is anyone on antidepressants?

I’m on sertraline 50mg daily. I feel that my mood is low still. I feel like nothing really brings me joy. I used to lose myself in music films, concerts and even books and comedy. But all of that doesn’t maKe me feel any different than this misery.

I’m seeing my doctor on thursday and I feel he’ll increase my sertraline. I don’t feel like its going to do much. I don’t want to be on antidepressants.

Also on Wellbutrin… I don’t get depressed often and when I do it’s usually situational. Also the low mood doesn’t last long but I’m sza

Wellbutrin stops my suicidal ideation, but it doesn’t make me happy. I have found that antidepressants put me in a place where I can be happy if I make the effort, but that part is up to me. Without them I am unable to make that effort.

I’m on 200mg sertraline. I also started on 50mg and felt it didn’t do much. I do much better on 200mg.

Don’t loose hope…that’s the depression. See if a higher dose works.

How long have you been on sertraline? It takes a long time to work. Unfortunately. Can be months.

I take an SNRI. Pristiq. Effexor is another one. I find those the most helpful.

I tried Wellbutrin and it made my anxiety so bad I couldn’t stand it. :face_with_spiral_eyes: Others seem to benefit from it.

Don’t lose hope!

I have the same problem. I think it’s mostly negs causing the problem.

Have you tried abilify?

I forgot… I’m on paxil. It keeps depression at bay but it doesn’t make me enjoy any activities.

I’ve been on 50mg since the end of March. I think its just post psychosis stuff going on which is affecting me a lot.

I agree about negs. I spoke to my doctor today and he said that the negative symptoms are most hardest to treat but there is possibility to recover from them.

I take 5mg of abilify every night and I may possibily be solely on it in the future.
