Now I remember the reason I held out so long to get help for my depression. I don't like medication, or the effects they have on me.
I am taking an anti-depresent now, and it is starting to help, but it makes me feel weird. Its rather like I know how I would normaly be feeling, and I don't feel that way. Like feeling a shadow of what I would normally be feeling, and rather than be happy, it's very frusterating. Does that make sense?
I don't know how else to describe it. It's like my mind is being wrapped in a blanket. I want to feel depressed and sad, and all I feel is a blank. It makes me want to toss something, because this is so unatural for me. I guess I'm just rambling right now, but it is really disconcerting.
And besides that, it makes me dizzy, so I go around walking into things all day. Sigh.
I hope that once I get used to the medication, it will not be like this.

That does sound like you got the wrong medication, it doesn't suit you. Antidepressants aren't supposed to have these effects you mentioned. I too suggest that you talk to a doc about that. Maybe the meds don't cooperate with other meds you probably take currently, you should mention that too. I hope you feel better soon (((((piplover)))).

Thanks! I've never been on anti-depressents before, so this is all rather new and scary. *sigh* Thank you so much, for all your support!
