depression and feelings of fear.

I am currently switching meds for depression,  coming off one that seems to have stopped working, before going on another and my depression symptoms are in full effect. the sadness, the crying, all of it.   what I also am experiencing is fear.  not fear of anything specific, just a sense of fear throughout my mind and body.  theres nothing I am afraid of.  is just an unexplained fear of nothing, a symptom of deep depression?

You don't say which drugs you hae been on, but stopping most any of these drugs cold turkey can result in very serious problems, even if you are put on something else. You won't even realize sometimes it is the drugs doing it as withdrawals can hit 6 months later and it is destroying alot of lives. Please go to drugawareness.org and check out all you find there. Also search the web for Dr. Ann Blake Tracy as she is the front runner for xxx.xxx.Dr. Tracy has researched these drugs for over 10 years and has investagated numbers of cases where these drugs are destroying peoples lives. Don't fall victim to these drugs like so many have, its hard to get off of them but you must stay strong to do so and please don't give up or lat yourself be talked into believing taking another drug will help, it won't, it will just make things worse.  Good luck

This sounds like withdrawal and depression.  Normally a doctor will wean you off one medication while slowly introducing another.  But everyone and medications are different.  I would contact your doctor about how you are feeling, it sounds like the old medication is out of your system, but check with your doctor on this, he knows best.   Take care.....
