So I’ve been diagnosed with depression for 5 years and been on antidepressants since I was like 13 years old. Over that time I’ve tried a few antidepressants (Prozac, Zoloft, lexapro, Wellbutrin, buspar, Effexor, cymbalta, remeron) and nothing has seened to really “work” for me. ATM I’m on lexapro and remeron, but I’m now realizing that idk what it really means to having a medication work. Like obvi it’s not a magic fix but then how do u actually notice a difference in urself and the way u feel? The only time a medication has had a visible effect on me was my first trial of lexapro where it made me less anxious, less drowsy and overall more functional but Idk if I’ll ever experience a medication like that again so that shouldnt be my standard. Does anyone know like how to know when a medication works vs doesn’t work? tysm

So I just started 15mg Remeron a few weeks ago and now recently just started feeling extremely bloated and having stomach issues. It could be related to the medication or not but either way I feel so hug, sluggish and out of breath. My stomach is huge and I’m genuinel in pain. Ik weight gain is a big side effect but I haven’t been hungry, most because when I eat it makes the bloating even worse. TMI but I’ve also been having diarrhea a bit and am lowkey just in pain. Is this like a side effect of the medication or could this be something else happening? Should I continue the meds or maybe look to try something else?

So I’m currently taking antidepressants for my depression/anxiety and ik that these drugs can impact ppls sexual health but can they impact the development of it in the first place ? For context ive been taking antidepressants since I was around 12 years old and am now 17. I’ve gone through a few (Prozac, Zoloft, lexapro, Effexor, Wellbutrin, cymbalta, buspar, Ritalin, remeron) but am currently on lexapro and remeron. During this time most ppl would prob begin having some kinds of sexual feelings but I haven’t at all and don’t desire sex of any kind ever. I really don’t even like physical touch that much and have never desired anything beyond kissing, although all the ppl around me are doing that and much more. I currently have a bf and while I do really love him and, I find it really hard to have any sort of affection towards him at times or even my friends and family. Could this be related to taking mental health medications so early in my development? Could this be like a normal side effect of the meds that has just stayed no matter which med? Does this have nothing to do with medication? Idek and I’m confused about myself now.

So I just started taking 15mg of mirtazapine at night for my treatment resistant depression and anxiety. This will Be one of the many medications I’ve taken (prozac, Zoloft, lexapro, wellbutrin, buspar, effexor, Ritalin, cymbalta, etc.) and the only thing that has worked so far is lexapro so I really hope this works lol.😓 Idek much abt the drug but I’ll be increasing the dose pretty soon and I’m taking 20mg lexapro also but rn I’m taking it once daily at night and ik it makes u tired. The first time I took it I knocked out like immediately so idk im scared. lmk ur experiences and what u recommend or think tysm!

So I’ve been dying to see them for a while and actually jumped for joy when i saw the tour announced. But this will only be like the 3rd concert I’ve ever seen, I’m going to the Chicago one. When should I buy the ticket? Do they sell out quickly? What should I know?

I’ve worked at Culver’s for 2+ years and have been closing custard for around 1 year. Our problem to at my specific location is that we never seem to have enough ppl for the position and the ppl who do it are getting way overwhelemed. Making custard sounds easy at first but ur carrying huge buckets all the time, dealing with crazy rushes and you come home absolutely disgusting and ur whole body hurting every single night. For some reason we have a total of like 7 ppl that know how to close custard at my store and we need two closers each night so taht means I’m always doing it. My job isn’t understaffed either, we actually have way too many ppl, they just refuse to train anyone on this station. If u work there, how do u guys do custard and is it similar? what do i even do.

this may sound like a stupid question but I’m genuinely confused. I’ve been diagnosed and medicated for depression/anxiety for around 5 years and taken 8 different medications for it so far (Prozac, Zoloft, lexapro, wellbutrin, Effexor, cymbalta, buspar, Ritalin) Personally, almost every single one of these meds has made me feel absolutely no different, but I have a hard time tracking and understanding my emotions so I could also be ignoring it Ig. However my depression is very episodic and changes quickly, so I never really know if me feeling better/worse is cuz of the medication or if it’s just another episode. There has only been one medication that I ever felt actually helped (lexapro) and it was a very slight difference for a very short time. My question is, how do people know that a med is helping or hurting them? What changes do you notice? How did u know it was the right fit? Im so tired of this continuous loop of trying things just for nothing to happen.
