they should:) like she said the dosing and the right med is what takes the longest but you'll know immediately if it's the one bc you'll feel like a new person<3

Thank you both so much. Really helping ease my mind. Hopefully they can find something to help. Keeping my fingers crossed @hermommy @katarama

It may take a while to find the right medicine and the right dose, but yes, it will definitely help. it took me several tries to find what worked for me; I tried many that made things worse. it takes about 4 weeks to fully take effect, if you don't feel any different at all after that point you may need a stronger dose, and if you feel worse at any point tell your doctor immediately because you need to switch medicines. With the wrong medicine and dosage, you will feel better. It will not make you feel worse, it will not make you a zombie, or anything that others say to try and scare people away from medicine.

yes it'll help girl, within 4 days of starting my new pregnancy depression meds I was happy again didn't cry for no reason or anything like that. I wish you the best girl i know it's hard:(

So the medicine will help being me out of this? I'm just so scared to take medicine and it make things worse and really affect me. I know a girl through my work that has been on medication for years and she disappears at times and no-one hears from her. I'm scared to lose myself but I can't keep crying in the shower or staying up so late because I can't get my thoughts under control :( I'm going to call tomorrow for an appointment @hermommy @katarama

I take meds:( even being pregnant, its the only thing that keeps me okay honestly

I took medicine for a long time, and once you find the right medicine and dosage it really helps. I would just bring it up with your doctor. Like "hey, I think I might have depression, here is how I'm feeling and it's beginning to interfere with my daily life; I'm wondering about medication to help relieve these symptoms so I can have my life back."
