This explains a lot!

My moods have been off the charts since October, 2011 - between the abuse from H and the infertility, I've felt like I've been at the end of my rope (panic/anixiety attacks more frequently, agitation, etc. to the point where a few weeks ago I was ready to admit myself into in-patient - I felt completely lost and out of control).  I go to weekly therapy appointment and yet it never seemed to help long term - I would leave the session full of life and hope and then by the end of the day, I normally felt hopeless and down in the dumps with sporatic spurts of crying.  So through the advice of my therapist she recommended me seeing a psychiatrist.  The appointment was today.  After almost 90 minutes of an evaluation, I have been diagnoised with major depressive disorder - prescribed a higer dose of celexa and low dose wellbutrin (to start out with), bi-monthly appointment with her (psychiatrist) for monitoring combined with the weekly appointments with my therapist. 

So hopefully this will make me feel better, less hopeless and I would love for a day without tears.

  • So glad you're being proactive about your depression.  It's very difficult to deal with, especially since you feel so out of control.  Good for having an answer and I hope that the meds work.  FWIW, Wellbutrin worked for me with minimal side effects.  Here's to better days!

  • I've been there and it sucks.  Know it will and does get better!  Hope the meds are the answer for you.  They do take time to kick in but keep us posted on how you are doing
