Tired of depression meds: At a loss of what to do

Posted by jane2022 @jane2022, Feb 19, 2022

Having suffered with depression for years during and after a failed marriage onto bad online relationships which lead to my suicide attempt. I’m at my wits end coming off Effexor now and feeling desperately depressed.
Doctor wants me to start mirtazaphine now but just reading side effects has put me off.
I am at a loss what to do!

I am sorry you are experiencing all of this. But please don't be afraid to try. I am taking Mirtazapine (it helps a lot if you have sleeping problems). I went down from 45 to 15 mg. I had to reduce it because it made me gain a LOT of pounds (I was super hungry all the time). Good luck, and know that I am thinking about you, hoping you are going to feel much better soon.

Dear friend the side effects can be terrifying but they don't always affect everyone the same way trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding and all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path I was I was misdiagnosed for depression for many years about four at least and then I found another doctor after 4 or 5 hospitalizations and he put me on the right medication that I've been on for about 30 years and it still helps me and it's helping more and more and I'm taking less and less of it as I get older I'm 73 years old now Jesus Christ is not limited in his ability to help you and he does use medicine he's the great physician and if you trust in him he can do anything to help you turn away from sin and trust in Jesus Christ as your savior he died for your sins he wants a relationship with you but you have to turn to him in faith and repentance and give your life to him and he will make your life what it should be
