Lately it hasn't been so affective, but I think it depends on the person. I'm on and off with it. One moment I'll be totally content without a care in the world and the next I'll be making a noose.

I used to be really depressed, and still feel it sometimes, but I'm doing a lot better now. The turning point came when I realized what I wanted to do with my life/gave my life purpose. I'm at the point now where I know there's absolutely no point in sitting in my bedroom feeling sorry for myself. You honestly just have to man (or woman) up and get shit done and you'll start feeling better.

it brings about the desire to smoke weed or drink alcohol every night. and if i don't, it can be a challenge to fall asleep. which is probably why i stay up until 4-5am every night if i'm at my house.

This goes for me but more hour to hour. I just sleep off and on all day. I've tried to read more but i can't stay focused and it sparks my anxiety into a hellish blaze.

usually i just take it one day at a time but i've been feeling real good lately. it's age-old advice but if you work out a lot, get sleep and eat well, you will improve. i've been on every med under the sun and have almost died due to allergic reactions but nothing has made me feel as good as those 3 things

Someone has already said it, but basically i'll be fine for a week. Feeling almost euphoric and untouchable with it, then I gradually slide back into feeling crap, fatigue and depression. Right now the stress from work and overall lack of sleep has me at boiling point. I need to slow down on the weed smoking and get out.

Anyone have any experience with lexapro/ciraplex? My doctor tried to put me on fluoxetine/prozac before and I just ended up smoking weed everyday instead. Things never got really any better so he wanted me to quit smoking for 2 weeks and come back and decide whether or not I wanted to start taking meds. Have to go back on next friday with an answer and still completely undecided...

for me it is literally one breath at a time. i have money and work problems but those i walk off pretty easily. only thing that gets me down is girls and mine just left me after almost 2 years. i take lots of deep breaths and i'm trying to throw myself into social situations. so far its only helped a little. im just trying to deal with this as best i can and not screw up too much else in the meantime- like, i skipped work yesterday to just take a break from the world for a minute (i work 7 days a week) not exactly smart when you're barely making bills.

If you are still undecided then you aren't ready to be on meds. Meds won't cure you. You have to be in the right state of mind for the meds to function the way they are meant to. It took me almost 2 years of being on meds until I finally had my epiphany and broke out of my, almost, lifelong depression and anxiety.

My mom is on lexapro, I got the impression it helps mostly with anxiety as well as depression. I have to say it really chilled my mom out, she's been genuinely happy lately and much more easy going. Positive effect on the entire house.

It's on and off for me. I get more irritable than gloomy. It's been better for me lately though. I smoke weed daily and it helps a lot. Not a big drinker though. Just keep yourself occupied. It helps.

Yeah, my doctor warned me that if I'm not in the right mindset about taking them that it's pointless to even start. I'm only undecided because I constantly have this feeling that I can overcome this without them until I realize that I've pretty much been feeling the same way for the last 4-5 years with very little signs of improvement. I haven't smoked in like 2 weeks and it's been a hell of a 2 weeks I'll tell you that much...

My first year of college I had to take a psychology course and essentially my psychology prof convinced me that psychotherapy would do a lot more for me than meds, and I went in asking for a recommendation for someone to talk to and instead he recommended I try lexapro. (kind of funny how a psychologist and a physician highly disagree with one another). I get free counseling with a psychologist through my university so I think I'm going to try a combination of the two. Heading back to the doctor for a prescription tomorrow..

I'm taking a philosophy course focusing on existentialism and I'm constantly being haunted by the idea that this is by my own doings, that I am choosing to be this way. It's kind of truthful considering I was the one who let myself slip, but it's also motivating me to make changes to pull myself out of this.

So yeah, you always have a choice. You can choose to be depressed or you can choose to do something about it and work past it. Obviously some days its hard just to pull yourself out of bed, but you're still the one choosing to do that.

I was on lexapro for like 4-5 months and I truly hated it. It spiked my anxiety through the roof, and left a bad taste in my mouth about anti-depressants and meds. It might have not been the right time for me to take it though. I get pretty bad hypochondria when i'm really anxious and I am still figuring out ways to deal with it. As for meds, I can back taking xanax or ativan for my anxiety but I always feel like too i'm hard on myself for taking it and end up wanting to stop. For about a year and half I couldn't control my bowels because of how anxious I was. I was always "backed up", worst year of my life.

I've taken both. I was prescribed cipralex (10mg) and it helped a lot with general saddness and with panic attacks/outbursts. If anything I didn't really have a mood at all when I was on it, though. I felt pretty robotic and numb within 30 minutes of taking each pill. I had absolutely no anxiety while taking it and I'm typically a very highstrung/anxious person. I stopped because the prescription cost too much. For the next month I felt like I wanted to fucking hang myself. I then started taking lexapro (20mg) that I obtained myself through a friend. On these I had a considerable amount of trouble sleeping and absolutely the WORST anxiety ever. I tried cutting them in half and felt no different really. I felt jittery and like I was coming down from cocaine.

I haven't been medicated for at least a year now and I doubt I will be ever again. I know that many factors contribute to depression and going on medication is your choice, but I'd recommend talking to someone and ridding yourself of absolutely anything and anyone in your life that's upsetting you/wasting your time first. A lot of people who are considered depressed make it worse by basking in it and giving up trying to be happy since a loss of interest in things you like IS a symptom of depression. I've never felt as content/stable in my life as I have in the last five months. I just do the things that I love. I realize that I'm not as happy-go-lucky as most people I cross paths with and that I'm skeptical about basically any good thing that comes my way, but I'd rather be somewhat apprehensive and negative than have no emotions at all on pills. I'm cranky I use it as fuel to draw something, write something, walk for a longer period of time.

That's just my opinion/experience. Good luck.

This just seems like lack of motivation or being stuck in a rut to me, not depression if 'thats kinda been always'. If you think you're genuinely depressed now, what happens if/when you really do get depressed?
