I have been on the antidepressants for nearly three weeks, and it has made me feel better and be able to be happy and made things easier to cope and help lift my moods at times. But I still have moments when I feel dark and that I'm better off not being here! Had a few of those moments but only have lasted a little while but they are lasting longer each time and at the moment they are not strong enough to make me go through with it, think that is down to the medication though! As I'm also starting to find me again because I have felt so depressed for so long that is all I'm use to.

Is this just normal because of the mediation settling in?

Hi Kezzy5, three weeks is not that long of time for these type of meds. What you need to do is discuss this with your Dr. it's not unusual to make several adjustments of the dose or even try a different drug all together to get the best result. Good luck and hang in there.

Are you seeing a therapist on a weekly basis?

I am seeing a therapist weekly but have not due to half term, and thank you parttime as well.
