Hello there,

How long have you been taking Zoloft and Celexa? Also note that Xanax should be used when having a panic attack or as a short-term treatment of anxiety. A long-term benzodiazepine to use would Klonopin.

Antidepressant may take up to a month until you see any improvement. If they don't work you can try another kind of antidepressant. Those you are taking are called SSRI which means selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. They affect serotonin which is a neurotransmitter related to happy mood and such. Another kind of AD you can try if you see no improvements at all is a SNRI; selective serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inibitor. It will affect your serotonin level and also another neurotransmitter called norepinephrine. Norepinephrine transporter normally recycles some dopamine too, then SNRIs will also enhance dopaminergic transmission. Therefore, the antidepressant effects associated with increasing norepinephrine levels may also be due to the concurrent increase in dopamine.

You must also consider having a healthy diet ( good intake of nutriments ( vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates, lipids ) ). Also consider exercise. Exercise is a natural antidepressant. It acts on the brain and body by balancing your hormones. When doing physical activity you are producing about 8 hormones that are essential for healthy mind-body. The endorphins for example ( an opiate produced from the pineal gland ) will relieve tensions, decrease pain, but will also affect your moral. Other hormones produced by doing exercise are insulin, thyroxine, growth hormone, testosterone, estrogen, epinephrine, glucagon. Those are all good for you and having good balanced hormones will help your brain and as well you body.

For more information about the benefits of nutrition and exercise for mood disorders you can read my post dedicated to the subject: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Depression/Knowledge-for-Depressive-People/show/1127539

Best regards,

Hi, I really don't know what to say.  I feel so bad that you are going through this hard time. I think your frustrated because you can't seem to get out of the circle.  You try and do what the drs tell you and you can only do so much.  I have been depressed for a long time.  I've tried so many meds.  Some put me to sleep and others hype me up.  I was recently given Pristiq.  It has given me energy to at least move. Effexor xr helped too but not as much.  Have you ever had your thyroid checked? Sometimes that can make you feel terrible.

You can't let go of your mind.  There is an answer somewhere.  You are here for a reason. Please don't ever give up. I thinkwe all have a purpose, don't ask me what because that I don't know.  I just know that we are here. To take your life would be selfish and you sure don't sound like that.

Know that you are not alone, I know that doesn't help much because your the one who is going through this right now. Just hang in there no matter what it takes. The rest of your life could be amazing, especially with everything you are learning from this.  We can do this!!!
