rebelstar Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hi I'm new. I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder and anxiety in 2012. After being treated with Cipralex and wellbutrin I was doing well. I was weened off my medication but I had a relapse and was recently put back on it. I find it difficult to find other people who understand what I'm going through. I'm hoping this forum will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary123 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hello and welcome Sorry to hear about your relapse- Sometimes it's difficult to climb completely out of 'the pit' once you've been down in it.

olga Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Rebelstar, welcome to Crazyboards. I ask all new members to read the rules---if you read them when you signed up, you are all set. Now, the whole issue of "weaning" you off your meds just makes me want to scream. You were diagnosed with MDD and anxiety, and you were put on meds that apparently worked. So.......why did they take you off them? If my blood pressure med lowers my blood pressure to a good level, do I go off the med and watch it shoot back up again? If you are dealing with a GP, you need to see a psychiatrist, and you need to be firm that you have conditions that require treatment. MDD and anxiety don't go away just because you want them to. I hope you will stand up for yourself and demand effective treatment. No one should have to spend their life being depresed and anxious. I hope you will stay with us and get to know the people here. They are very supportive and will answer lots of your questions. olga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
