i have depression, anxiety, extreme anger and mood changes. my psychiatrist put me on 5 different medications. this mad me gain all the weight i'd just lost. and i lost all sex drive. its really putting a toll on my relationship and then i get really down cause i blame myself.i just feel like a junkie or pill popper. i hate feelin this way but if i'm off the meds i feel i wont be able to deal or cope. i'm just torn between being owned by medication and trying to lead a semi normal life. has anyone else been in this situation? if so, what do you recommend?
Don't be ashamed that you need help be it therapy or meds. Do you know how many of us are in the same boat? The only thing you should be upset about is if the meds are not working right. Be willing to ask your doctor for a new dose, drug etc until your feeling ok. If the therapy your doing is not working speak up. Be willing to change to a new one or form. Good luck! Your NOT alone...
