Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, I am a college student who currently takes an antidepressant for depression and anxiety. Over my spring break, I went to my family doctor to talk to her about my depression and what I have been dealing with lately. I wanted to do something different because the medication is not working as well as it should be. She told me that she wanted me to go to my doctor on campus to get this new antidepressant prescribed that would help me out more. When I went to the doctor today she said she wanted to put me on both medications then decide what to do. I don t know if this is safe emotionally, physically, or mentally. My boyfriend had an experience with something like this and felt terrible. What should I do?
Usually at young age, the cause of depression is stress, so i would suggest you life style modification. You can carry on with some different antidepressant like paroxetine, sertraline or escitalopram etc, but life style modification would give you extra benefit. You can also do some relaxation exercise that would you calm.
Thanks
