Depression and Medications

Posted by EmilyQ on September 3, 2002, at 15:37:38

Help! I am feeling zoned out, depressed, listless and very negative. I am wondering if this is a result of the new combo of meds I'm on. I started taking 100 mg Zoloft about three weeks ago, and I also take 15 mg Remeron, and 2 mg Ativan. I've been on the Remeron and Ativan for five years (started taking them for major depression and severe insomnia. Those drugs elped with sleep, but my depression never really lifted.) My new psychiatriast put me on Zoloft for the depression and at first it helped, decreasing irritability and anxiety. However, now I feel worse than ever. I wake up feeling so zoned out, lacking in energy, and am spiraling downward with negative thoughts. Is this new combo just too sedating? I have cut back on the Ativan to 1.5 mg since the Zoloft makes me so tired, and I am really hoping to get off Ativan completely, but I can't seem to feel better. I have already tried Wellbutrin and that made me very anxious. Please offer any suggestions to allieviate this deep depression. Thanks Emily
