Its a relief to have someone who understands how draining depression is. Its a constant shadow over my life that I just cant shake off.
This may sound strange but what is the definition/full title of a pdoc? I've only heard it mentioned here. Is it like a Psychiatrist?
I see a therapist (psychologist) once a week and my GP deals with my medication. My GP reccently took me off 150mg of Effexor XR because I had very high blood pressure and he thought that could be causing it.
So now I'm on my 3rd week of 10mg of Lexapro.
I felt much better on Effexor than I do with Lexapro but maybe I just need to give it more time.
I would love to have at least a day of contentment. I find at the moment even when I'm having fun and enjoying myself I'm down. I have a lingering feeling of hopelessness in my mind and my anxiety makes it impossible for me to feel comfortable in public situations or even around a group of family and friends. I never seem to be able to have a "rest" or "free time" from depression. Its just there!
Thanks again for your help,
Michelle

> Hi Bell, Isn't it so hard to believe that you are going to feel better? I recently had a major depression that lasted 6 months and just wanted an end. I am very lucky to have a smart,but not very nice pdoc who does wonders with medication. I still have bad days and occasionally a bad week, but the medications help tremendously. So now I can have a day of contentment and even a week. It is worth waiting for. Hope you start feeling better. Do you go to a pdoc? terrics
