"I'm going to start posting on my DW more often!"

*looks at the camera like they're in The Office*

So I felt good for about 2 1/2 days with the new antidepressant. I think I'm better than I was before I took it, but not a huge amount.

I have so much to do and I'm not doing it.

Tomorrow is Meg's birthday. She's going to be 30. It's so hard to think of myself with a 30 yo kid.

This is such a mood. I need to make a psychiatrist appointment and I don't know what I'm going to say as far as how my meds are working. My measuring criteria is so broken.

Happy early birthday to Meg!

I know what you mean. It's been so long since I've been not-depressed, I don't even know what that would look like for more than a few days.

Huuuuuuggggggsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

My youngest is 51. It's hard to believe we’re that old.

I do hope the pills are working. They say that it takes up to six weeks to get full effect. I do hope they'll help. I know mine finally did.

My youngest just turned 24. "They grow up so fast" is such a cliche, but it's so true.

I've tried so many antidepressants. They'll work for a little while (or I won't give them the chance because the side effects are so bad), and then stop, and then we have to try something new. I really am hoping so hard that this one is working.

I'm so glad your meds are working! 💚💚💚

The side effects for my bipolar meds caused essential tremors. They are so bad but when they started they said it was too late. Everyone thinks I have Parkinsons Disease. They actually hurt most of the time but at least they are doing the trick. I take Abilify for my bipolar needs. Other than the tremors, I feel great. I've been on so many. Ended up in hospital three times. I really hope this one doesn't give you any freaking side effects. I wish you luck. They also gave me Sertraline 35 years ago. It's helps the depression so much. I was lucky with that one.

When I took lithium, it gave me tremors, but the doctor realized what it was and pulled me off it quickly. It absolutely sucks that yours isn't going away.

My baby just turned 51 on the 16th and my granddaughter is 18, graduated and has an apartment and a job. It's mind boggling. When the heck did everyone grow up???

I hope the meds work. It's so hard, because you start a promising one, it works for a while and then zoom right back to square one.

I don't know when they grew up, when I don't even feel 'grown up' myself lol

I just really want this med to work for me. It took a while to find one I could tolerate again

I'm sorry the new drug is not helping as much as expected.

Me too. I think I'm not as depressed as I was on the last one, though. I think. Maybe.
