I stopped trying to make depressing threads and comments after understanding how exhausting it is for me, and how 'old' it gets for others to consistently have to hear about someone else's struggles; as though they/we all don't have problems of our own. That being said, I'm just gonna write a brief summary of my last year's experience with different anti-depressants, and if you have anything to suggest, awesome.
A year ago- I feel more depressed than I've felt my entire life, which is saying a lot, and finally give in to taking a prescribed anti-depressant. I get prescribed 20mg a day prozac by the family health care nurse practitioner or whatever the hell. I begin taking them and within 2 or 3 weeks I feel similar to being high on meth, save for many of the negatives. In short, I was getting up earlier, getting better rest, eating less/healthier, feeling a resurgence in my confidence and energy levels, etc. As the weeks went on, this increased, and I felt more 'alive' then I can remember feeling since I was a teenager. I also lost 50 lbs over the next 3-4 months.
9 months ago- slowly, and not quite noticeably to me at the time, the effects begin to dwindle. I am struggling with keeping a job because of my new confidence that 'I'm better than the shit I'm doing.' While the ambition or desire feels good, the fact that I can't stick with my current job until I figure something else out is not good.
7-8 months ago - I am still slowly declining in the initial surge of motivation that I had felt, and revisit the doctor who decides to continue the prozac and add abilify. I do research and talk myself out of taking them. I start to blame prozac or feel like it has fucked me up somehow; that it helped initially and then ruined or changed something within my mental chemistry.
6 months ago - I'm about back to my initial depressive state. Gained about 25 lbs back of the weight I had lost and feeling very little ambition or confidence as it relates to hanging out with people or interacting in general. Go back to doctor who changes my medication to Depakote, which is some anti-seizure horse pill type thing that apparently has been shown to help with severe depression. I take that for a while and feel worse; start missing work due to inability to get out of bed, extreme fatigue, zombie-like conditions so to speak.
3 months ago - go back to doctor. she changes my med to Imipramine, some ancient shit that is basically just another shot in the dark. Since I've been taking this the last several months, I felt a minor improvement, like from a 2/10 to a 4/10. I felt a bit better at work and haven't had any struggles as far as making it to work, but other than that my social anxiety has been ever prevalent, and my lack of motivation or ambition.
And now this last week I've missed work due to strong feelings of depression and fatigue. I'm basically just doing the bare minimum of what I need to to get by, and all of my relationships have been strongly affected by my depression. I am finally going to see an actual psychiatrist soon, and of course I'll explain to him/her everything and hopefully they'll have a better idea of where to go. Until that happens I'm still always curious to hear of others' experiences with anti-depressant medications or lack thereof.
I feel like I want to go back to prozac, maybe double the dosage of what I was initially taking. I'm sure that it induced a 'mania' to some degree, yet at the same time, almost any improvement was sure to feel like a manic state, in relation to the longstanding depressive state that I had been in. So, I don't know if it would be a good idea to go back to what started this all- the only thing that helped me feel better than I had ever felt- or do I go this alternate route of herbs and leaves and fucking green tea and morning jogs? Natural or not?
Someone wave your magic wand and heal me.

Have you been in therapy at all during this? Anti-depressants on their own aren't really going to solve anything long-term, imo. Would you be willing to get hardcore serious about your diet?

No. When I felt good, I (stupidly, I suppose) didn't think it was necessary. When I've felt like it is necessary, I just don't have the ambition to make an appt and follow through. I guess I have seen a 'couples counselor' with my girlfriend, who has been able to make the referral for me to see a psychiatrist, but outside of that she hasn't had much advice. I've seen her 3 times in the last 6 months, and she has noticed the decline in my condition every time that I've seen her.
I probably, absolutely need to see a therapist while I continue to take meds, or even not. Will a psychiatrist act as that? Do they do therapy or do they just fucking listen to your problems and write you a script? I know I make a lot of excuses when I feel like this, and even now I feel like therapy would do me little good if I don't have the physical or mental ability to follow through with anything. Like for example if going for a jog is supposed to make me feel better, I won't know because I am way too fucking unmotivated to go for a jog, or even if I could find the motivation, I view things like that as something that's only going to make me more tired and won't bring me any satisfaction.
I'd like to get serious about my diet and a lot of things, it just feels nearly impossible when I feel 'down' so much of the time. It makes it hard to care about anything, I guess. I probably need to stop making excuses or justifying why I do or don't take certain actions, I'm just so encompassed in that way of thinking right now that what is probably a mole hill, feels like a mountain. Or something...

That's depression for you :(
Really try to capitalize on those moments when you feel you CAN do something. Start there. If you want to talk diet I have tons of advice, but it means cooking and buying quality foods as you eliminate the bad stuff. Diet is a huge deal when it comes to depression. usually.
The psychiatrist will likely not even listen to your problems much at all. Expect a 15 minute appointment. Some psychiatrists do the whole therapy thing, but that is very very rare these days.
-
Take wellbutrin if you want an antidepressant that works.

what would the daily expenses of your particular diet amount to, roughly? I can't really afford pricey organic foods or things of that nature. Ideally I'd like to be able to maintain a diet that costs me like 5 dollars a day. As it stands, and which you'll clearly connect to part of my depression, I eat generally once a day and that's at 3 in the morning, usually a while after a get home from work and shortly before I go to bed. Then I sleep all day and just do nothing or go to work where I don't have much time to eat and I'm generally not hungry anyway.
-
OP screams bipolar, either I or II, not cyclothymia or rapid cycling.
Take wellbutrin if you want an antidepressant that works.
^This. ^This. This. This. SNDRI + something like lamotrigine if the daily SNDRI diet throws you into mania for too long.
-
If a psych doesn't give you Wellbutrin after you ask for it, go to your regular doctor and tell them you want it so you can stop smoking.
-
What do you suppose wellbutrin will do for me? Similar to the ssri or no? What's the main difference?
-
I personally don't believe SSRI's are such a great thing for long term therapy. You should get a therapist to help with restructuring the depressive thought process, definitely. But don't let your psychiatrist experiment on you, they already know what works and they don't have to tweak your meds every visit just to justify your copay.
Take advantage of your next high point to establish good habits. Exercise daily, eat well, socialize, etc. another part that isn't always mentioned is to change the people you see. Think about how someone makes you feel. If you take a class with students who make you feel competitive, or work out at a gym that pushes you, friends who talk to you like they want the best for you, or have a job with customers you feel good having satisfied, you've got a healthy support system. On the other hand, if your dealer makes you feel scummy, don't hang out after you pick up.

Eating once daily is a form of intermittent fasting, and can actually be a good thing for overall health. If you're willing to eat the same meal day in and day out you can make it work on $35 a day. Would be mostly vegetarian, because meat worth eating is pretty expensive :/
-
Fuck, at five dollars a day for food I'd say brown rice, canned fruit, chicken breast and frozen veggies with lots of water and a multivitamin to plug up any deficiency you're left with. Buy what you can, in bulk and on sale, then freeze. This isn't something I'd recommend if it's at all possible to avoid it; food is about the only thing I splurge on because I believe a good diet is worth it. If it really comes down to pennies, peanut butter is nutritionally dense enough that it could keep you alive for some time while you conserve funds. Again, none of this is ideal, and in the long term, I doubt its sustainability. It won't do much for your mental state unless your diet is worse already, that's the least I can say.

get addicted to heroin/opiates,
at least you wont be depressed when ur high.
thats what i do.
at least i get some relief, because im going to be depressed either way,
once addicted get a script of suboxone, and possibly a benzo.
use those when you dont have funds for heroin.
problem fucking solved, your fucking welcome
-
I'm assuming that means $0.35. And I guess I usually do eat the same thing but it's almost always 'unhealthy.' Ideally I'd like be able to wake up earlier in the day and at least eat some form of breakfast/lunch, and then eat one time later on. From everything I've ever heard though, it's never really a good idea to eat a meal before you go to bed, right? I'd imagine I could adjust as my body gets used to it, it's just another one of those things that seemingly difficult for me to get the ball rolling on, although to be fair I haven't even tried yet. If you stress it's importance that much, I guess it wouldn't hurt to at least make it a goal to focus on that while I try to figure out what else I can do, and what this psychiatrist will end up saying/doing. So what do you suggest? And by the way thank you for your responses thus far.
-
Have you considered maning up and stop being a pussy?
When I was growing up people with depression where weak people to be laughed at, and I still agree now.
-
About the wellbutrin its a stimulant also, NDRI like ritalin but its not as addictive and its really good, I took one right whem I saw this thread, cause I ran out of focalin and im using it until I get my refill. Ive talked to alot of people that said its very good. Makes cigarettes taste like shit becsuse its nicotinic antagonistic but chew still is aight.
-
Exercise. You don't have to commit to a gym and a workout schedule, I know that would intimidate me in a depressive episode. If you live not-too-far but also not-too-close, bike to work. I've been doing it while my car has been in the shop. Just three miles there, three back and I feel great during the day. I've saved a lot on gasoline, too.
-
What do you suppose wellbutrin will do for me? Similar to the ssri or no? What's the main difference?
SNDRI = dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibition, which means more focus along with lifted depression. It's like an SSRI with a hint of adderall.
It's what allows you to break the funk and start making those health & dietary changes to actually fix yourself like everyone else is talking about.

mmmmq I was first prescribed abilify which didn't really help
but I was going through something else, psychosis so it's a bit different.
I saw someone mention Lamotragine which might help stable your mood a little bit.
What's your drug use like? You use a lot of drugs or alcohol?

I was wondering why nobody had asked that yet, or why I failed to mention in it in the first place. I smoke weed daily, although not very much (0.5g). I started drinking about 3 or 4 months ago, after a 2.5 year hiatus, which I've decreased to roughly 2 or 3 times a week. I smoke about a pack of cigs a day as well. During my stretch of sobriety, I experienced a bit of normalcy, followed by my sudden spike in depression about a year ago, and then the resulting 'manic state' or happiness that I experiences, followed by the decrease again in my mental state. I just got to the point where being depressed and drinking was enough of an attraction than just being depressed as fuck. I'm sure it hasn't helped, and I'm soon to quit again, but as long as I feel this shitty overall, it's hard for me to give up those temporary moments of reprieve that I get with weed or booze.

You're the slow motion version of this, amirite?:

Fuck knows I am.
-
the world has been feeling funny lately and I've been acting an ass so I feel you, maybe there's been a paradigm shift and WEOENO it.
-
could be fairly accurate if it took place over the last year, except I don't feel like I'm melanchollically depressed or whatever. Currently my mood and energy levels are consistently low and my intellect I'd consider to feel average, if not slightly below. Knowing that I'm by no means an idiot, it is certainly frustrating to seemingly be denied access to the properties of my brain that allow me to express myself better or demonstrate more cognitive and consistent patterns of thoughts. As it stands, I feel like I have nothing to talk about and my creative process is next to nothing. I cannot fucking stand it. I try to force myself out of it, but it takes a lot of energy; an unusual amount that I don't fucking have right now. blech

You're healed now my son.

I'm not sure if you're talking to me or Zanick, but we could both probably offer some advice in this vein. Hmm never sure how to format these posts...
For me, I experience a drastic change in mood when I eat well. It's really difficult to stay with though, and currently I'm back to being a junkfood vegetarian (and yeah pretty depressed atm). To start, this was my diet when I was kicking ass at life:
Locally sourced organic, blah blah eggs. From the type of place that is run by a sweet old couple who invite people over to check out the living conditions of their hens. I ate 4 dozen every single week, which came out to $20/week. It's unfortunately getting into the cold months now so these will be harder to find, but check craigslist and http://www.localharvest.org/
If you can't find fancy eggs like that, store bought is still a much better option than junk food. Pastured and organic are good words to look for, but they don't always mean what they should.
Various organic vegetables. It's getting cold again so the options are somewhat limited, but I was regularly eating tons of zucchini, carrots, yellow squash, bell peppers, kale and other leafy greens, onions, and tons of other things. Do you have a fancy hippy grocery store? That's where I do all my shopping (not counting farmer's markets and local farms) when I'm eating well, and while it is more expensive they had regular sales of food on the verge of going bad that evened things out a bit. Like they'd put various combinations of food in plastic bags and sell each one for $1 and I'd buy them all and eat them asap. Same with bananas they got down to where you could buy 6 lovely organic bananas for like $1.
Again, here you can go the cheaper route if you must and get non-organic and/or frozen. Stuff your face with veggies every meal, always.
Various organic fruits. Here you're going to be very limited in the cold months, especially if you're poor. Bananas and apples are pretty much all I buy until it starts to warm up. Not as important as vegetables imo, but still good for you. Bananas are super cheap, and you should be able to afford organic.
Healthy starches (yeah a weird list. did not think this out). Bananas, all kinds of potatoes, rice. Rice is also a grain and grains are generally bad but rice is mostly benign as far as I can tell. I don't eat it at all anymore unless eating out, because it results in insulin spike and that makes for a sleepy me.
Legumes and stuff. Various beans, lentils, whatever. If you eat these it's recommended you soak and sprout them properly; I only included them because vegetarian. Generally high in antinutrients but no food is perfect.
Quality dairy. Plain organic, grassfed butter ( http://kerrygoldusa.com/products/butter/unsalted-butter/ ); plain organic, grassfed kefir; plain organic, grassfed greek yogurt; sometimes quality organic cheese. Goat's cheese is best if you're like me and have some digestive issues with dairy.
Other quality fats, mostly used in cooking. Organic coconut oil, organic olive oil.
Sweeteners: only organic honey, and never too much.
Those are basically the only foods I ate. I could get more into the whys if you'd like, but this is already so long. Just lemme know.
Foods to avoid: anything processed, anything with added sugars, grains, most starches, foods high in polyunsaturated fatty acids (like peanut butter), artificial sweeteners.
Since you probably eat meat, consider purchasing some of this: http://www.amazon.com/Collagen-Hydrolysate-beef-kosher-unflavored/dp/B005KG7EDU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413348229&sr=8-1&keywords=great+lakes+gelatin+collagen
and eating it regularly. My friend makes kefir smoothies with tons of that^, kefir and frozen bananas. Highly recommended, excellent source of quality protein. When buying non-organic, non-grassfed etc. meat always go with the leanest cuts possible. The fat itself isn't bad, but that's where the nasty antibiotics, hormones and stuff end up. Seafood should be fine. Don't worry about mercury content if you're poor imo. One of the healthiest cheap things you can buy is canned sardines.
If you can, track your nutrient intake. It can be a bitch when you're depressed I know. Here's a thing: https://cronometer.com/
At least try to track your protein intake. Meals should be based around protein first and foremost, and always accompanied by yummy plant matter.

Oh that's more reasonable.
There was a thread on zoklet about sprouted lentils being one of the cheapest sources of complex proteins available. This dude said he would sprout a shitload and blend them into a goopy bean smoothy and chug it for utilities sake, and also because lentils suck.
Pretty barbarian but if you want good proteins for super cheap...

I ate a half head of cauliflower last night and I feel pretty good about it. That was my way of symbolically turning over a new leaf and eating healthier. I haven't had anything to eat since then and I'm feeling pretty fucking weak right now, not to mention light headed and nauseous. Other than that though, we're on a new ship moving into new terrain and sounding the old fog horn mightily.

Yes, sprouts are a legitimate superfood. Sprouts save lives.

You really should try tracking your protein, and working on getting to a healthy level every single day. Make 65g a daily goal.

what the hell I literally just threw up the only thing that I do recall eating tonight at work, which was like 6 crackers and some canadian bacon. That's not normal for me. I don't like it. WHAT DOES IT MEEEN??

would eating peanut butter wheat toast as a 'breakfast' be a good idea? I could get most of my protein there right?

according to nazi scientists, depending on your level of activity minimum protein intake should be 40-55g per day, and the maximum effective dose is double that, so 80-~150 I guess. anything else is wasted.
also, an increase in protein intake takes roughly three weeks to take effect, so you're unlikely to notice immediate improvement.

Ah, well no. I mean it's fine to eat that if you want, and you should probably eat whatever you can if you're feeling weak. Wheat is bad for humans. Peanut butter is not that great, either.
If you're vomiting maybe you should see a doctor...

:( well.. what's a tasty and healthy source of protein that won't take me long to prepare?
And I only vomited once so I'm not going to jump the gun just yet. We'll see what the next few hours bring. I should probably eat something but I'm not hungry for some reason, and I don't know what to eat now that I'm not going to make frozen burritos or pizza. I have some whole grains oatnut bread. what about that?
-
lolno, wheat is not bad for humans.
white meats like chicken tend to be high in protein; that was my friend's primary source when he was going into bodybuilding competitions... also peas I believe.

Grains = no. I'm in bed now so can't write a ton, but of all the foods you've listed peanut butter sounds best. Grab a spoon!
