Your age is difficult to say the least, and with added pressures of your Mom being sick, too..you have a lot on your plate.
It sounds like from your post that the way you are handling it all (even though you are suffering from depression) extremely well. That's a lot of responsibility to put on someone your age and you should give yourself credit for that! You are trying - that's important.
Hang in there.
Thanks to both of you. I am just facing some hard anxiety right now that is a pain in the but!! lol . To the suggestion on that Magnesium Taurate, its a vitamin right? Do I need a prescription or buy it? Is it dangerous to take with zoloft and adderall xr? Im going to ask my pychiatrist to I'm just wondering till my appointment..
Sorry forget to sent the TO part. Could I take this medicine with zoloft and adderall xr? I am going to ask my pych or doctor before I take it anyways. Also is it like a vitamin, will it make me tired or anything? Thanks for any answers
Magnesium is an electrolyte and mineral.
DEFINITELY check with your doctor. There could be some unknown interaction. You could also ask about magnesium-rich foods, and/or an Epsom Salt bath soak.
This is a non-prescription supplement. Some of the safer and more effective forms include: Taurate, Glycinate and Citrate (can be laxitative.)
Tired? It's actually helped people with fatigue, so it shouldn't. I think a toxicity symptom is sleepiness, but that's at high doses.
Is the equate multivitamin just as good for all the above?
I just looked up one of the popular multivitamins, and it only has 12% of the RDI for magnesium, and it is Magnesium Stearate. There's got to be a multivitamin supplement out there, perhaps online, that has the RDI and in a good formula. It's on the label. Ask your doctor about whatever you are wanting to try.
Just re-reading your post. It also sounds like councelling would be wonderful for you. I go for councelling and it is a great help and avenue for expressing my thoughts and feelings.
Have you talked to your doctor about an adjustment to your antidepressant?
What you said about thinking you are too sensitive over your brother's comment. That would hurt me, too. But, really, with stress issues like anxiety and such, people are more sensitive. And especially when in the teen years.
Just noticed you have been in therapy. It's hard to read it all smooshed together, lol.
You noticed some issues soon after going on the ADHD medicine. You should have a look at your pharmacy pamphlet. I take ADHD medicine, too, and it can cause irritability, anxiety, depression, etc. You ought to talk to your doctor about this.
Thanks for your posts and I know it's hard to read lol sorry bout that. Well I see a pychiatrist for my medicine and they see me every month for dosage increases,ect. I have to wait because I would be wasting the pills I already have and my parents see its to expensive. Zoloft really just helps with my OCD and makes my moods more level. Ive been on it since July but since school's coming up in 2 days the anticipation is causing a great deal of anxiouseness more then social anxiousness. I am going to my pychiatrist sep.1 so I'll bring concern to her about this soon. The magnesium medicine you mentioned seems like it would really be a benefit for me. I see my doctor on Tuesday right before school so I'll ask her either over the phone tommorow or Tuesday in the morning. A couple questions if you don't mind. How many tablets would I take a day and at what time? I've been having difficulty sleeping lately I'm not sure if that will help or not. Also does it help instantly like how does it work on helping improve my anxiety? Will my zoloft prevent me from being able to take it? Last thing, is it the same as a vitamin basically or a dietary supplement? Thanks for any answers
