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?

My husband has been out of the country for 9 months now and our 3 year old has been showing depression symptoms. He is constantly crying for his Daddy. I don’t know what to do. We don’t know when we’ll see my husband again.

i want to find a book or a website that talks about why anxiety and depressions symptoms happen etc… so i can understand what is going on in my body. i already know about the adrenaline and the fight or flight response.. but I would like to know stuff more in detail like why I can get headaches…drowziness etc,,, thanks

what are the signs and symptoms of having depression,

What are depression symptoms?

the night after my graduation ceremony I had my first panic attack. i have never had one before this. after that i have been having anxiety and depression. it is also hard for me to fall asleep, because ive had racing thoughts. i am an 18 year old girl and i weigh 98 pounds. i know everyones body is different but i do not want to take anti-depressants or anti-anxiety drugs b/c of the side effects and withdrawel symptoms. what is a natural remedy that worked for you?

So I’ve read that high intelligence is a risk factor for anxiety/depression, is this true? I had an intelligence test as a child and scored well above average and had major anxiety issues and depression so I’m wondering if being smart is way over rated.

Ive been wondering this for a long long time now. I take meds for all of that. Right now I’m going off of the anxiety meds and probabley the depression meds but sometimes at night I feel really anxious and need something to calm me down so I drink teas that are for sleep or relaxation. I’m pretty paranoid about all of this, pills, what mixes with what etc.
So I was wondering. Is it dangerous? Can I over sedate?

My anxiety/depression has gotten worse ever since i started smoking pot. But i quit about 2 months ago and havent used it since. But ever since ive been paranoid about everything , i get nervous easily , have trouble sleeping , and have become a hypochondriac it sucks so bad. Im going to counseling and its helping for the most part! But im just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how i can over this ? and live my life….Thanks.

Ive been suffering from severe depression & social anxiety my entire life. It recently has become so extreme that I can barely function in my everyday life. I’ve been on zoloft before to treat my conditions & it really seemed to help me. But after researching the short & long term, potentially dangerous side effects of antidepressants, I stopped taking the zoloft. Should I go on it again? Anyone have any success/failure stories about zoloft to share? I want to weigh the pros and cons very carefully before I make a decision.

I know it’s dangerous to take a klonopin when drinking, but would i be okay if i take one early in the day and have a drink that night?

I am thinking of getting medication for what I currently consider as moderate depression and anxiety. I believe that the more natural, the better when it comes to depression and anxiety medication. I always read about anxiety and depression medication as having some pretty serious side effects. That is why I’ve been thinking about getting a cannabis permit (I’m in CA) to help me relax a little.

I am interested in a few of your experiences with weed and anxiety/depression and if it helped you.

I don’t want it if it won’t help me.

I am curious of how much klonopin id have to take to equal the strength of one xanex bar, any help?

I’ve had anxiety/depression for 6 or 7 years now, i’ve done counseling, medication, and i’m homebound. I’ve never had a real job accept 1 that lasted a month.. I can’t get a job because of my social phobia, i have no friends and i can’t talk to people over the phone. My mom doesn’t know anything about social security, how much would they pay and would it be based off of how much my mom gets payed? Is there anything else i need to know about social security?

I hear Prozac is good, but I think you need a prescription for that.

I have an extremely important interview next week and I need something to knock the edge off. Is there anything that I can pick up at a Meijer or a Wal-Mart or a Walgreens that can help me out with any anxiety/depression/mood problems?
