Is it true that it helps depression? My
mom brought some home from the store for
me the other day and I asked her what it
was for and she told me it was like an
herbal zoloft and that it would help my
depression, but it would take about a week
or so before I started noticing any
changes. So far, I haven't noticed
anything...So i'm just wondering if it
really works or not? I did get referred
to a counselor by my doctor. For some
reason he felt it was neccessary to go to
my mom's work and have a conversation
about it with her. I didn't even know
that he had referred me to a counselor
until my mom brought home a piece of paper
from work with a name and number on it and
told me that Dr. Diduch gave it to her
for me to call.
I would talk to the counselor and see if
your doctor could prescribe something to
you for depression. I used to take
celexa, it worked well for me at the time.

I was on zoloft once before, and I just
got tired of taking it after a while and I
was feeling better, so I thought maybe if
I eased myself off of it by cutting the
pills in half and in quarters that I would
be fine not taking it. Well, it worked
for a while, but now i'm back to where I
started.
A lot of people do that. If it worked
for you ask for more. Schizophrenics
(sp?)do that too. The medication makes
them better so they think they don't need
it anymore. I'm not trying to compare
you to a schizo, but I understand why
stopped taking it. I probably shouldn't
have stopped taking my celexa. It was
prescribed for post traumatic stress
disorder, but I was smoking so much pot
back then I didn't cope how I should have.

I think I am gonna call and see if I can
get put back on it. My doctor told me
once before that if I felt like I was
lacking energy again and feeling depressed
again that all I had to do was call in and
talk to him about it and he'd call in a
perscription for zoloft again. I was
trying to avoid it if I could though
because it starts getting expensive after
a while.
