Moody and Desperate

By Jolie24 Tuesday, March 30, 2010

I have been taking Epitec 150mg now for the last year and six months.  I got married in 2008 December and my husband sometimes just not understand what i am going through. I treat him really bad, i take him for granted, i fight constantly with him, nothing he ever does is good enough for me, i am not happy just always feeling depressed and down. is there something wrong how do i get out of this black hole. It seems to me that my medication is just not working for me anymore. When i started the medication i had to drink it at night, now i started drinking it in the mornings and it just feels it is not working for me. What do i do????????

If you don't think your medication is working any longer... then talk with your prescribing physician to see if an adjustment needs to be made, or another med needs to be added, or what have you.  You did not say whether you've talked with your prescribing physician or even if you have therapist and undergoing psychotherapy.

I only had one session and that was after she has described the medication to me. I have been trying to get hold of her. Can you maybe advice a to were i can find a good psyciatrist in the Doornpoort Pretoria area. I actually agree with you it does not feel like me meds are working for me.

Oh and another thing my husband took me to a hypnotist which he thought would help, but not at all. is there somewhere on the Internet were i can download stuff for my husband for him to understand the situation better.

Do you take a mood stabilizer? I take Valproic Acid and does work very well for me. As Tabby just said you need to talk to your pdoc and ask him to adjust your meds and maybe prescribe new ones. Don't take so long when you are in such pain to call your doctor, meds do work but we need to find the right combo which sometimes takes more than we wish for.

All the best.

Soz, epitec is a mood stabilizer. I would go see a doc to get an anti-depressant.

Have bi-polar to and have recently been put on epitec at night and welbutrin as an anti depressant
