I Often Feel Like Depression Has Me Not That I Have Depression

My psychiatrist started me on Prozac. It’s been hell. It seems like i’m even in more bad shape. I can’t even describe my depression. I feel so empty and bored at the same time, I can’t find the meaning in life. At all.

Usually takes several weeks to kick in. How long have you been taking it?

One month and two weeks @LyricalOne

@offingg Call the psychiatrist and let him/her know what’s happening. Do it today.

I can’t. My friend has his number, we’re not friends anymore so I can’t ask her @LyricalOne

@LyricalOne Agreed. It should have an effect by now. Personally I have taken Lexapro and had good results. Maybe you need to try a different SSRI.

@offingg I’m sure there’s a way to find it online if he’s a reputable psychiatrist. And if it comes to it, put your issues aside and get the number from your former friend. It’s a medical emergency.

@LyricalOne Yes, you are going to have to make an effort here I am afraid. If it's not working speak to a doctor and try something else.

@LyricalOne It’s not an emergency, i’m not suicidal, I just feel empty. I think i’ll see him tomorrow.

LyricalOne · F

@offingg Tomorrow is good. Hang in there and let us know how you’re doing.

@LyricalOne Will do, thank you for asking
