Meds Not Working? Posted: 05-03-07 11:58am


Hi~ I've been on Effexor for about 5 years. I am on the highest dose available, and I am struggling with depression. I hate it. I've been on numerous other meds, so now what do I do? Has anyone else experienced this? I feel really alone right now. thanks!

I suffered from panic, anxiety and depression and cbt has changed my life more than I ever thought anything could this past year. I highly recommend giving cbt a try. If you can't afford a cbt group pick up a copy of been there, done that? Do this! By sam obitz (tao3.Com) and start doing the tea form exercise in it. We started with this book in my group and it is a easy read and teaches you how to counter your thoughts in the middle section. The more you work on the exercises the more relief you get, I am still improving today.

I hope it helps you Hawk. It's hard work at first but if you stick with the exercises I think you will find it worthwhile. Let me know how it goes?
