News of Clinical Depression Forum

Hello there, first post, nice to meet you all!

Recently my depression has been really bad (what a way to kick off the new year lol). I've lost track of all time, I'm letting my schoolwork slide, my room's a mess, I'm a mess, and I have no motivation to do anything at all. I've read so many articles about how to deal with a depression episode, but they're all for curing the simple blues. ...

Hi everyone,
I am a 24 year old male. After taking Amitriptyline 10 mg/day for two weeks I stopped realizing it’s side-effects such as daytime sleeplessness, intense emotional feeling, crying etc. I cried almost everyday but once a day for almost two months remembering my childhood memories with my parents. Now after six months I still feel some blockage on my head. It seems my aim, hopes, future-plans etc. are blocked from being interesting. For ...

I think I may have almost been kidnapped as a child.  I was in the first or second grade, can't remember for sure which one, and we were told as children during a child safety program that if ANY unfamiliar adult tells us to go to their car for ANY reason, that we were to yell "No!" and run the other way.  So I was arranged to be picked up by my grandmother most days ...

I was wondering if any board members have been taking Amitriptyline or Nortriptyline for Depression and Anxiety? I have been on Zoloft for months but it hasn't been particularly helpful treating the Depression. My doctor has recommended Amitrip as an excellent antidepressant. I responded very well to another TCA called Clomipramine some years ago but it stopped working. My biggest concern are the side effects. He said expect to gain weight on the Amitrip. Has ...

Hello everyone.

So, I qualify as having Bipolar II depression, but I thought I would post here instead of in the bipolar forum as I am mostly dealing with depression here.

I've been taking Abilify as a mood stabilizer and for my depressive symptoms, but I think that maybe the medication has stopped working for me. Lately, I've just been feeling so sad and like I want to hurt myself. I'm not going to hurt ...

I feel like crying I’m sad and feel depressed but I don’t know why I’m on depression meds but I still feel this way do any of you ever get depression and not what causes your depression

Hi there. 15F, no family history of mental illness, no trauma, I have ADD and aspergers if that makes anything any different.

I was diagnosed with situational depression w/ self harm and suicidal thoughts and prescribed prozac when I was 12 after something as simple as a fallout with friends, starting out with coming out as gay to my best friend / crush and her pushing me away. It was also complicated by struggles with ...

Hi! This post is probably going to be TMI and very personal so just a warning in advance. :-)
I am an 18 year old girl who has recieved treatment for MDD in the past (started therapy off and on and was diagnosed when I was about 15) and when I turned 18 I started taking an SSRI (prozac) because I had a really bad episode. Before ...

When I was a preteen I was diagnosed with situational depression, and medicated with Prozac. Now I am seeing around the web it is identified as adjustment disorder. I had depressive symptoms for several months, even to the point of self harm or wanting to die. I was constantly sad, hopeless, guilty, self-hating, and lonely. The event in question that triggered this was a falling out with my best friend / crush, which evolved into ...

I don't get it. :(
