Tired
I don’t know what to do. Psychiatrist I’ve been to have been so unhelpful about medication side effects. Every antidepressant I’ve been on makes me soo exhausted to where it’s hard to function. I was on cymbalta which made me happy & bright back passion in my life for the first time in over a decade and I was stupid and got off of it b/c I was so tired. It took me over a year to feel like a human again even after restarting it b/c I was so depressed off it and it doesn’t have the same effect now that I’m on it again. I am depressed & have been on the meds again for over two years. I told my psychiatrist this and he said “I’ve never heard of that.” Really?? I really don’t like or trust mental health professionals after all the sh*t I’ve been through with mental illness the past 17 years. It’s like I have to choose between being happy and being able to function in normal society. The meds also have sexual side effects and I don’t even know for sure if depression is biochemical or not so am j supposed to be on antidepressants for ever? I have ocd and depression by the way.
