I have been plagued by chronic depression for almost ten years. Now, at 26 y/o I've been on/off Zoloft for about 4 yrs. It always seems to help the depression - definitely elevates my mood, etc., but I have never felt "right". This year, a new doc. said I have some kind of anxiety disorder, which seems to be the source of the depression. In addition to the Zoloft and Wellbutrin, which he's prescribed (starting about 5-6 mos. ago), I've tried Buspar (no noticeable difference in axiety), Klonopin (made me want to go to sleep at 5pm every day w/ no relief from anxiety) and more recently, Xanax.
Answer:
Can tell you for sure what helped me with the wormy feeling that comes from speculating about what others are thinking, saying, planning, dah dah, dah dah, dah dah, I asked myself the simple question ~ what the hell do i care WHAT "they" think - or say - or do. Had to admit that whatever others thought would neither kill me nor make me unbelievably rich. So..................clearly, it didn't matter. AT ALL. I laughed a lot. Every time i caught myself slipping into the "wonder" mode, i just laughed. How could i possibly care what those sorry losers think. It absolutely changed my whole outlook. Not instantly, but eventually and permanently. Beware. Xanax is a benzodiazepene (from the Valium family). I found it great for anxiety, but be advised the stuff is highly addictive. I have been diagnosed with several anxiety disorders, and while I'm not big on diagnoses, I do believe that anxiety is the root of my problem and actually ends up causing my depression. There are many other types of anxiety disorders besides panic attacks. The discomfort you feel about what people think of you that leaves you feeling paralyzed and unable to deal with social situations is something I can very much relate to. I tend to be against meds, but let me put that aside for now and comment on my experiences with several you mentioned. Wellbutrin was the only anti-depressant that worked for me but it had the side effect of anxiety and after a while I had to quit taking it for that reason. I was told by my doctor and have read and have talked to others and it seems that anxiety is not an uncommon side effect of Wellbutrin, so now that you know your doctor considers you to have an anxiety disorder, perhaps you could ask if Wellbutrin is the right anti-depressant for you.
