Off anti-dep. meds, and losing more than ever!?@?!
Hi Everyone!
Newbie here!
Major clinical depression was diagnosed when I was a mere 12... and here I am at 20 with it still kicking my bum! I have issues with taking my meds (zoloft, 100mgs), issues with consistency, issues with losing my milk (I am breastfeeding my daughter still- 13 months strong!), and all around issues with not being able to "be happy on my own" which I am sure many of you have felt at some point or another. So, instead of my zoloft, I started taking St. John's Wort... a miracle drug, if you ask me, as far as natural/safer... whatnot... That was going well... I was not gaining any weight, but not losing... and then to throw the mix upside down again... I just started a Birthcontrol (YAZ) and had to stop taking the St. Johns. because it can inhibit the absorption of the birthcontrol in the kidneys, or somethign like that.
OK, there is my background.. now on to my questions...
I know that I just should be "consulting my dr." for all of this, but I just want opinions here...
I haven't taking my anti-dep. pills for a while (zolo or SJW) and feel good, have lost 5 lbs, and am sleeping better... I am def. moody again, but not nearly as bad as previous to my prescript. Rx.
Any thoughts on this? I am hesitant to restart them...
