How do I know if I need Antidepressants?

I’ll try to make this short as possible but I think the information is relevant. Three months ago i had a health issue that obviously made me very anxious. I was put on 30 of cymbalta. Sometime in the middle of the treatment I found out that my health concern turned out to be nothing, so I stopped taking cymbalta after 23 days.

I knew better than that, but my situational anxiety alleviated it’s self so I thought I no longer neded the anti depression med. The next four days i went nutts. So I started taking it again. I started getting visual migraines which increased my anxiety so my dr. switched me to zoloft. On zoloft 50 mg then 100mg I felt awful like I was on chemo therapy or something. Dizziness blurred vision light headedness and crazy increase in anxiety and continued visual migraines. My dr wanted to try lexapro. I was growing rather frustrated with jumping from one to another cause all this started as a result of a situational depression that alleivated it’s self.

So I decided to taper off the zoloft for a month and see what would happen. No relief from the light headed feeling, blurred vision and headaches and visual migraines. None of these things I ever had before I started taking antidepressants. I’m now taking wellbutrin 150xl in the morning and have been taking it for about three weeks. Still get lightheaded and dizzy and have occasional blurred vision. I’m starting to think that I never needed these things from the start but now am afraid that I will never be able to get off of them. Does anyone have any suggestions or similar stories?

Anyone have seasonal depression? Some questions… thanks!?

I have seasonal depression…. well it’s not diagnosed yet, but I am diagnosed (or w/e you wanna call it) w/clinical depression. However, as of a few weeks ago it suddenly got REALLY worse and nothing in my life has really changed. All summer long I was fine. I started seeing the therapist I am seeing now in January because I was at a real bad low. Then I got better as the summer came and so on. So yeah I’ve actually noticed it’s been like this for years in a row, so it must be seasonal. Anyway… I’m going back to the therapist in a few weeks, but until then, I was just wondering what you do to help get your mood up (assumin you have seasonal depression too and are reading this…) Do you do the bright light therapy (or w/e its called)? Does it work? Did the light machine thing cost alot? Any help would be great. I’d def going to the therapist sooner, but I’m away at school and can’t get home before my next appt.

Thanks everyone!
Oh btw, I’m on Wellbutrin already…
