Answer 1

I am not going to give the standard answer that just about everybody else on here always gives.. You know, that you should get professional help and stuff like that. I will not insult you by telling you to do that basic stuff. What I will do is share some of my own experiences on this subject.

I also suffer from bouts of depression. Sometimes they get so bad, I just want to end my own life. I went the therapist route. I had a shrink that just wanted to push every pill out there on me to mask the problem. I was on Zoloft for about a year. It kind of worked for a while. But I was still having the erratic bouts of severe depression. I was on the highest level of Zoloft that can be prescribed, so Dr. Quack as I now like to call him tried to stack other meds along with the Zoloft. I trusted him (what a mistake) About a week later I was in the middle of a job interview, and passed out cold right in the middle of the interview. It seemed that the new meds reacted with blood pressure medication I was already on and caused me to black out. I went back to the doc and he refused to adjust the medication saying I did not give it enough time to get regulated in my system and work properly. I told him I used it long enough to see that My body, and other meds did not agree with it.

I left his office that day, went home and flushed all of the meds that he had given me down the toilet. I know it is never advised to quit medication without a doctors help, but I really did not think about that. It took about two weeks for all of the medication to compleatly get out of my system. Ever since then I have been feeling better. I really do think the medication was actually keeping me depressed.
Yes, I still do get down from time to time, but I just find the root of the depression and work to overcome it.

I am not saying that you will be able to overcome your problems overnight. It is going to take some real will power on your behalf. You will need to be ready to change your way of thinking. It may take a while, old habits die hard. But only you have the power to overcome your depression before it overcomes you.

It is great that you got off of the drugs. They are only a crutch. Sure, getting high seems to make your problems go away, but once you loose your buzz, there are those very same problems staring you in the face. It took real power to stop taking drugs! If you could beat drugs, I just know that you have the power in yourself to overcome depression.

Sometimes you will need a non judgemental ear to vent to. You can always feel free to e mail me. Perhaps I can help you out of the rocky times with my own personal experiences.

Iwish you the best in beating this depression! Take care.
