The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
Hello.... are you on 20mg Fluoxetine? I had to take more than that before I saw real improvements. I think its a good idea to get yourself back to the doctor to discuss it.
Its very difficult to get motivated to help yourself but just start with something really small.
Definitely agree with the others that going back an talking to your GP is the best course of action...
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
How can u tell if the dosage ur on is too weak? I'm on 20mg & its hard to tell if its workin caus I'm still really depressed just not crying as much. If I up it to 30 wouldn't that just make me even more drowsy?.. Oh & seein a counsellor at 11am, just need to wake up for it!.gif "(blush)")
You just have to speak to your GP, explain how you're currently feeling, including any side effects such as drowsiness, and they'll be the one to decide whether dosage needs to be adjusted or a different AD tried. But please remember that it can take up to 8 weeks to really feel the benefits of an AD.

Definitely have a chat with the GP. Before you go for the appointment try to write a list of what's better, what's worse, what's the same. That information will help the GP decide whether its the right AD for you and doses etc.
Absolutely agree. Go and tell your Dr as much as you can about how you are really feeling. Tell them everything -it will help. Let them talk you through the options that are available..

I just feel like basic needs are not being met such as the need for affection. When u've never had a gf thats bound to get to u. Its incredibly frustratin.. No amount of pills will fill that void.
True, but the meds can boost your mood so you feel more capable of tackling the issues in your life

As Paula says, the meds will help to keep your mood more stable so you can work on other things you might need to...
