    I stopped taking my depression medicines…? Well for starters Im in 10th grade (this is relavent) so basically, in eighth grade I started cutting myself, and it continued into ninth grade. And in December of ninth grade my dad noticed (my parents are divorced) but my mom didn’tHING about it.No therapy or meds. So naturally I kept cutting and it got really bad in about April and I attempted suicide. I only got put on meds. I was put on this medicine serequil so I wouldnt cut but it made me randomly fall asleep. And this medicine lexapro, made me SO angry all the time. I would lash out at people for no reason. So I was on 30mg of lexapro (a LOT) twenty-five (I think)mg of serequil and 150 mg of this mood stabilizer lamictal. So finally I got tired of them constantly upping my medicines, so I just stopped taking them, because they turned me into some half-asleep angry monster. And well, I was doing so well with not cutting. And then I started feeling numb again. And I cut myself last night. Deep. And I dont want to be in this rut again but I cant tell anyone. And I stopped therapy. The only reason i stopped therapy is because my mom got cancer and I didnt want her wasting her money on me. Should I start taking my meds again? Should I call my doctor and tell him I stopped? Helpplease. Also, thank you for reading all that. I appreciate it.

    First of all, I’m sorry to hear about your mom. I know that your worry about her may be adding to your desire/ need to cut yourself. Second, I want you to know that I’m old enough to be your grandmother, but I was a cutter myself when I was younger. So, I can relate a little bit to what you’re going through. You need to call your doctor as soon as possible. Stopping some of these medications cold turkey can be dangerous. When you talk to your doctor, make sure to tell him about the anger issues you have while taking Lexapro. This is not an effect this medication should have. Sleepiness is a common side effect of Seroquel. That’s why it’s usually taken at night. Alot of times, the problem with drowsiness resolves after out bodies acclamate to the use of the med. Cutting youself is dangerous, but not something you should be ashamed of. There are a lot of us who are using or have used cutting to deal with depression. I get so fed up with people acting like depression is just a matter of will power. The brain is an organ of the body in the same scense as the pancrease. We really don't expect people to manage their diabetes with will power alone and we shouldn’t expect them to handle depression without medical help either. Call your doctor tomorrow morning. Get the help you need. You deserve to be free from this problem so you can enjoy life.

    Reasons why medical students burn out and become depressed. After my surgery rotation I thought about why medical students burn out and wall themselves off during the clinical years.

    Depression is caused by a number of causes. Physiologically it’s caused by a relative deficiency of dopamine in ur brain cells which feels u make sad. Depression is precipitated by a number of factors like lack of sleep, hectic life style, stress & basically everything of modern life. Yes it’s very much possible to get rid of depression naturally but its not easy. Most of the cases of depression caused by a single major event like a major accident, loss of a near one or victims of major calamities usually cure themselves up in a few months without any external help. In other cases a lots of things can help u get rid of those medicines. Change ur life style, make it a bit more relaxing, reduce ur travelling time, make some friends,talk to them, go out in the sun(yes it does help to get some sunlight) do some physical activity , have regular sex, play with children, develop a hobby & many other things. Yoga, meditation have also been shown to reduce depression. People in big cities have been found to be more depressed than those in smaller one. What I’m trying to tell u is if u want to get rid of ur depression, try one or few of these methods, if nothing helps then may be ur body has some deficient dopamine for which u need drugs

    Might not be the answer u wanna hear….but prayer! I know alot of people who had panic attacks, schizophrenia, depression w/suicidal attempts….and all of them gave their life to Christ. I've know them for the past five years and there is no relapse, no medication…just prayer and a peer group that helped them get through it. Not only are they healed, but they’re now college grads, business owners, and starting families.
