Prescription Medications

Since the beginning of my treatment for depression and anxiety, I have been prescribed a host of medicines. Some have helped me, whereas others have hurt me. I really don't want to point too many fingers at particular brands but if people want to know what worked for me and what didn't work, I will gladly publish a follow-up post. It is important to know that prescription medicines used for depression and anxiety disorders can be beneficial. However, you should only use medicine in conjuction with a therapy plan. Medicine is more effective when it is combined with therapy. Also remember that a doctor should be monitoring your mood to ensure that you don't fall victim to some of the more serious side effects.

So here is what I have tried over the course of six years.(This may look like some sort of spamming of keywords but I am being sincere)
Prozac, Wellbutrin, Celexa, Paxil, Effexor, Trazadone, and Remeron have all been used in conjuction with my treatment plan for depression.

In regards to the treatment of my anxiety disorder I have tried the following scripts.
Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin, Some sort of blood pressure medicine, and Gabapentin.

You could say I have really been around the block when it comes to medicine. I have yet to find a magic pill (that is legal) or some miracle medical treatment. The reason why I haven't found any relief in these pills is because none of these medications is enough to cure depression. A pill cannot make anxiety disappear. If you think I am wrong then you could be in for some serious trouble.

Getting better takes work. You cannot be passive in your plan on feeling well again. Taking medicine and sitting at home is not going to do anything for you. If you want to rid yourself of depression you need to see a good doctor.
