Venting New meds making me worse

[drinkingintohell]

Recently switched anti-depressants and they're really kicking my ass. Went from Zoloft(sertraline) to citalopram and it's been almost 2 weeks, so I know the side affects/the switch is obviously supposed to be hard, but damn. This switch has been harder than other times I've changed meds. Depression just really kicking my ass with suicidal thoughts shoving to the forefront of my brain and being harder to ignore than usual. Dunno what to even say anymore, watching tuca and Bertie wishing I could ctb and unsure of who to go to with these thoughts. Appreciate all of you on this site.

Switching/withdrawls are a bitch. I had one round that went easy and another that kicked my ass. I feel you! I hope the new meds work better for you!

I've tried them all. Adderall is the only thing that works for depression, despite it being an ADHD medication.

Lucky for me I have ADHD and am supposed to be getting meds for it for the first time soon. Maybe it'll help. Same as you I feel like I've tried it all.

I hope it helps. If you end up being given adderall, try to take the lowest dose that gets you results for as long as you can, to stave off tolerance development. And take off days from it whenever you can.
