Answer 1

here is more info i submit the answer again:

choose which applies to you:

2- have enough air circulation in your environment(oxygen)
3- visit your religion place (like church) more often
4- control your subconcious mind by reading "the power of your subconcious mind" of joseph murphy
5- check your minerals and vitamins levels (balanced but not high and not low), and keep b12 levels above 500 by having b12 syringes (not by pill), because it with syringe it will go directly to brain through blood and you will get the extreme benefit of fighting depression.
5- minimize (or stop) cholestrol, caffiene(cola, chips, coffee, chocolate, cocoa..etc), and tobacco products.
6- practice breath exercises by having your belly coming up front and back for 5 minutes 4 times a day(that was answer to one of my questions).
7- stay in sun light for 15 minute to 2 hours maximum (depends on how much you are depressed and how much is strong the ray of sun in your area)
8- maximize usage of milk, and use omega 3 once or twice a day to balance with cholestrol.
9- eat fresh food, and minimize processing time processed (cook) food
10- fix any digestion problems specially Constipation
11- check for anemia, and any thyroid (hormones) dysfunctions levels.
12- if you have permanent viral sexual transmitted disease, stop its medication because anti-viral drugs cause depression.
13- stop alcohol and minimize sex drives to once at week or stop it.
14- stop streessful stuff such as music. music gives you illusional immaginary stressful feelings so it is depressing at end.
15- try light sports.
16- morning eat fresh Barley and milk and few dates with honey in your breakfast (dates and honey have pure sugar Glucose that does not need processing, this is a perfect replacement of all other sugar products, so stop all other types of sugar as it is really stressful). barley is famous natural anti depressant togeather with milk.
17- try not to sleep too much or too little and try to sleep at night.
18- change your stressful job.do not follow and watch news and sad stories and movies and horror and thrill movies.
19- try relaxing exercises like lying down on the bid and try your best not to think of any thing (even do not think of think!!! for 5 minutes).
20- stop any drugs that helps you sleep like valium, and all other **** drugs that we take to make us sleep
21- at night, do not use for lighting the **** day light white power saving lamps. your body needs to relax after sun set. the daylight lamps challenge your nerve and neuro system at night. you do not need any daylight simulation or emulation at night. but rather you need it before night.
22- keep GSM mobile, and other electromagnitic devices(tv, playstation...etc) away from your sleeping room. be sure that your house is fairly far from high voltage power lines.
23- take a sample of the water you drink to a laboratory. and check if there is any strange ingredients in it (any very very low posining ingredients).
24- try changing the food products brands that you buy. especially the ones that you have frequently and daily. check always if food has any of the E ingredient series (like E160, E333 i do not know what is it, i am writing random numbers after the E), some studies mentioned that those E family act like slow poison and cause mental and cancer problems. so try to avoid products with E family (better you always check with search by yahoo or google about any E that you find in any food product).
25- try the natural japanese stickers or any equivalent. You use 2, put (stick) one on every feet before you sleep. when you stick it, it smells nice, in the morning you will remove it when you wake up and it will has bad smell because it sucks all the poisons from the body. (try it for 2 weeks only and do not use for long period because i am afraid that it sucks some other good stuff from your body, this is personal openion and not professional).

Answer 2

Talk with your doctor about the medication. Perhaps it isn't the right one for you. It can sometimes take a combination to handle all of your symptoms. Each person can have different reactions with medications and finding the right combination can take some time. What works for one may not work for another. Also some medications can have mixed effects with others. Some can take time to to work, months even. But the first place I would suggest going is to your doctor if you aren't feeling 'right' with the medications that you have currently.

Answer 3

Have you had your thyroid checked? I have hypothyroidism which is an underactive thyroid and it made me have the same symptoms. I have been on synthroid for a while and I feel a lot better. That could be all you need and probably why the meds you were taking for depression were not working. Hope this helps!

Answer 4

Medications helped me a lot when I combined them with therapy. But I have also found the working out has really been a great thing for me. I have more energy and I feel better about myself.

Answer 5

There are lots of medicines you can take for severe depression. I take Zoloft and Wellbutrin XL. It does the trick for me.

Answer 6

lonelygirl, well done for getting off the drugs that will end up killing you or causing you to commit suicide. go to www.cchr.org before you go back to any psych and watch the videos of the psychs saying they cure no one and there are no tests for mental illness. then go to a chiropractor and get adjusted. then go to www.dianetics.org.

Talk to your doctor and see if Cymbalta is right for you.

Answer 8
