Questions About Antidepressants?

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

Is there any other antidepressants besides Zoloft? I have been on zoloft since 2011 and I am finding that it is not effective like it used to be. What other medication goes Wellbutrin? I started using that in October 22, and it helps a lot. I want to stop taking zoloft. Should I stop taking zoloft or wait for my next appointment? Is it true that if you stop taking your antidepressants, your mood will go from bad to worse?

I am taking Effexor. I got very depressed in Spring and it went on for three months. Dr increased the effector , but it didn't work. I bought CBD oil in capsules. Within 5 days I snapped out of the depressive state I was in. I'm definitely going to continue one capsule before bed.

Wellbutrin I like because it helps with weight loss also.
I take Wellbutrin, Latuda, & Prestiq.
Whatever you do don’t stop your meds without the doctors supervision.
I did it twice and both times I wound up in one of those fine places that your side of the door has no door knob! You know what I’m saying.πŸ™„

Correct don't stop your medication without contacting your doctor. I did that year's ago ended up in the worst hospital for 7 days it felt like a year. Was in with criminals people who tried to commit suicide. I got put on Zoloft at this time stopped it to many side effects. I went back to my psychiatrist and she switched it. I've been on a lot of different ones serquil works best for me and helps with sleep . The doctor I had quit so I went where my insurance covered it. She wasn't good plus I had therapy 3 time's a week. After her I found another one insurance doesn't cover it but I really like her . I tried 2, more meds with the serquil and got off those to . I take a anti anxiety medication mainly at night, or if hubby upsets me I take a half. Best of luck

I have developed a tolerance for Zoloft, my doctor has me using Zoloft and Wellbutrin, I can feel the Wellbutrin more than the Zoloft. I will keep taking both until my next appointment. Also I take Hydroxyz HCL for my anxiety. The side effect is it makes me very sleepy. I take it at night and it does help me with sleep. Thank you for the info. I appreciate it.
