I've never been depressed in my life. I was a sad person at times. But never was depressed or got anxiety. I went through alot in my life time. My sis has a habit of hurting me alot, telling lies to mom about me and being ungrateful. I put up with her all this time. End of last year I started getting frequent periods so about 3 weeks ago I went to the Doc. They gave me provera. Now I got really bad side effects. I cannot eat, sleep, I got bad anxieties. I am getting married soon to a wonderful guy. He is so kind and patient. My sis met him one time and she doesn't like him. 3 weeks ago when I talked to her she was asking personal questions about my fiance. About 3 months ago she told me that she didn't want to hurt my feelings but she doesn't like him. She lives out of state she doesn't know him like I do. My mom, aunts, uncles, cousins everyone likes him alot. I went to the Doc again they gave me Zoloft and Xanax to get rid of my other side effects of med. But no improvements.

I am having errational thought about my fiance. Sometimes I don't want to see him or like him. I love him with all my heart. I would give him my life. Do you think after speaking to my sis has elevated my anxiety? I don't want to ruin my wedding. Invitations been sent out already. I am a very religous person. I've been praying alot everyday. I am going to the doc again this week. You think it's Zolofts side effects? I feel depressed and sad. Sometimes I am happy other times I feel erritable and sad. My fiance sensed it yesterday. He said he was sad because I am sad. I love him so much. One time I even thought I was possesed by the devil. I have asked God to forgive me for having these irrational thougths. I don't want to cancel my wedding. My fiance said all he wants from me is to get better. He sill loves me very much. I feel sad for having irrational thoughts about him. I never had this problem before.

I think your sister is your problem. Don't rely on her advise. I don't know why the doctor put you on Provera
but the side effects are awful and can lead to further depression which is why they put you on Zoloft and Xanax. I personally do not like Zoloft, tried it years ago and it exacerbates the original problem. It sounds like you have a very loving and caring fiance.I would stop the Zoloft and take Xanax only when you feel anxious. Forget about your mean ol' sis, she's caused you problems from day 1. And since it matters to you, the rest of your family likes your fiance.Watch out for those doctors though, they will pile more medication on you to cover the adverse reactions of a prior med.Get a 2nd med. opinion.

yes zoloft, hmm very familiar with that. I dont understand america and their need to label everyone as having problems, personally I think people r different for a reason and pill companies and docs try to milk people outta cash, not caring what happens to them. And If it causes you more problems to take whatever they give you, then lucky them , you get to come back and give them more cash. Sad as it is this country is all about cash, they (the govt) dont invest in biomedical research, and pill companies have to find a way to fund their next 2 billion dollar research for a pill. Get off zoloft asap if you feel worse, its suppsoed to help anxeity, but drugs have been know to to the opposite in some people (ritalin makes soem people speed up, but was made to slow them down). If you have anxeity, ANYTHING can make it worse, even a small sore throat can make u start to worry and worry untill you start to wonder if you have cancer ect, little trivial things become something you worry about to the point u start to have these things called anxeity attacks eventually (they mimic heart attacks).
I mean your gettin married, your gonna have HUGE anxeity from what I hear, but ive been on zoloft and mood stabilizers for a long time cause they said i was bipolar,, well i quit takin that stuff, now they tell me i have skitzophrenia and a panic disorder. They can help sometimes, but if they make things worse when your on them, come off them, even if they help you when you can no longer afford them or wanna quit after a while, they do leave damage. These are things your doc will never tell you cause hes there to fix the problem you got now, and the problem youll have in the future, he/she didnt waste 8 years of their life in school and thousands in cash to only collect a few dollars off a few hundred people

Wow, I know what you are talking about with the irrational thoughts. I never really believed it could be the depo-provera. hmmm. Get off the shot and see if you start feeling better. There are many different kinds of birth control. My doctor says not to go on the new low dose ones but I'm sure you would want to talk to your doctor about it. You should also think about getting those thoughts out of your head and into a journal. Sometime when I am able to write them out and analyze them later it really helps. Also, get some exercise. It is like natural anti-anxiety, anit-depression medication.

It sounds to me like its the meds. I took zoloft once and it made things worse for me...I would have dreams and couldn't tell real life from fantasy. I would ask the doc about trying Lexapro. It treats both depression and anxiety, and I have had tremendous results with it. It also doesn't make you feel all jittery. Talk to your doctor about other options. Try this website for other alternatives...www.smart-publications.com. There is an article about menopause and natural hormones. Provera is used to treat menopause as well. The article I read is really informative.
