i was diagnosed with depression about 6
months ago.
The thing is for the last 3 or 4 months I
have been taking large amounts of nurofen
plus. I have tried to stop, but its hard
when you can just buy them over the
counter.
I know I shouldn't be doing it, but I like
the feeling they give me.
What should I do

First, unless you are in pain you must
stop taking the nurofen plus not only
because they aren't good for you but
because they won't be of any use when you
really need them for pain & they could
cause you serious medical problems,
ulcers, stomache lining problems etc.
Next, you have to decide whether you want
to get better or not & whether you are
willing to actually do something to help
yourself. There are ways you can help
yourself, post again if you are willing to
act!!
First action required now : :d smile!!! Yes,
now!!
Think about that simple free, unmedicated,
no side effects action, didn't you feel
good when you did it???? That's one way
you can start.

Hi purple
thanks for your reply.
Yeah I do wanna get better, just I don't
really know what to do first.
My doctor has left to have a baby and I
don't feel comfortable using another.
So don't know what I should do

Hopeless: when you are dealing with
depression, wanting to get better on your
own usually doesn't work. Regardless if
you don't feel comfortable with a
different doctor, go! Maybe you need to
be on prescription meds. I don't know if
you or any of the other folks understand
that depression is not a weakness that you
can control. Seek a therapist & a
md. Hope you feel better.

Sometimes depression or other mental
illnesses can be conquered on your own!
I have severe anxiety and worry about my
health a lot. I am actually not on meds
and didn't want a therapist. I went to
the library and checked out a lot of books
and logged onto the internet and started
learning everything I could about my
illness. I became depressed and was
going to the Dr. Like 3 times a month.
He suggested therapy and I tried it one
time and hated it. Like I said earlier,
I checked out a bunch of books and learned
a lot about what I could do to fight my
illness naturally and I did. There are
days I feel more vulnerable, but I do the
exercises that were in the books and on
the websites and I can get past it.
I agree that some people may need extra
help, but meds aren't always the answer.
I believe if we try hard enough, even with
a counselor or therapist at times, mental
illness can be conquered with no meds. If
you are addicted to something and feel
there is no answer, then I suggest seeing
a Dr. Good luck!! :d
