What is the best medicine for depression with psychotic symptoms?

sinfill asked:


Before I became pregnant with my first child, I suffered from major depression and mood swings. After having him (2 1/2 years ago) I have not had any symptoms of depression or mood swings. Has this happened to anyone else? Can your hormones get “in-check” after becoming pregnant?

Annoka asked:


I’ve been on Prozac for 3 weeks and I’m noticing a relaxed feeling along with normal feelings returning, but the feelings of depression, how long does that take to go away?

i’m always hesitant to tell my psychologist the way i am really feeling just in case she decides i have to go to hospital. What type of things would make her come to that conclusion?

azeroth_isforlovers asked:


I have been taking Effexor XR for several months and just recently I’ve started feeling depressed. I take Effexor for anxiety. I think I remember in my psych class talking about how when anxiety patients take antidepressants they typically deal with depression as a side effect, and visa versa for depression patients. I just want to know if anyone else feels the same way, and if so, do you take a different medication for the depression?

Jim M asked:


I’ve been on EFFEXOR XR 300 mg for about two months now. Are mood, concentration, focus the last symptoms to improve?

NurseG asked:


Sorry to ask such a serious question, but I am a little too embarrased to take it to my Dr. I am a healthy 26 year old nurse. I believe I have been depressed since middle school – and have thought about ******* on and off since then (on & off being for brief periods every 2 years or so). When ever I feel so low, I am too depressed to talk to the Dr about it, and when I’m not I am too embarrased to talk about it.
The reason I am questioning talking to my Dr about it today is that I am so tired. I just feel like no matter how much sleep I get, it’s not enough. I have a history of migraines, but I feel like I am getting a headache every single day. My job is very fast paced, and these symptoms make me feel like I can’t do my job. I also feel like I need to quit my job every 6 months for no reason – I really like my job, and don’t know why I get such a strong urge to quit.
I know there may be other answers for my symptoms, but does anyone else think could they mean depression?

Curious George asked:


I was laid off work after 24 1/2 years this past January and I’m not having any luck finding another job. My wife seems to think I might be suffering from a mild form of depression. Can anyone tell me what symptoms I need to be looking for before I call a doctor. Money is tight right now and can’t afford to spend money for just a visit without any proof of depression.
