I am a 28 y/o female that weighs 100lbs. they have me on 200 mg of Zoloft a Day and 500 mg of Depako
I am a 28 y/o female, I have been diagonsed with MDD and MDD with Physcotic features. I only weigh 100 lbs. they have me on 200 mg of Zoloft and 500 mg of Depakote (which they are fixing to incfrease to 1000mg a day). The medicine does not seem to be working, I still feel depressed and very empty. I really need someone to talk to and I really need help. I wanna cry, but can't. I hold everything in and pretend nothing is wrong. But something is wrong, very wrong and I don't know what to do. Please Help! Why isn't the medication working?
Hello,
Medications can take time to work. Depakote can take up to three months to really kick in.
Have you mentioned how you're feeling to the doctor who prescribes your medications? Are you getting counseling / therapy along with the medications? If you're not in counseling, talk to your doctor about a referral to a psychiatrist, psychologist, or counselor as well as talking to him about your medications. Sometimes, good counseling can be an enormous help, even if you only need it while waiting for your regimen of meds to be perfected.
Best wishes,
Teri Robert

I fully understand what you are going through. You are not alone. I am 29 y/o male. I have been a life long sufferer of major depression, panic disorder, and anorexia. Last Thursday I was finally discharged from the hospital after I gained "acceptable" weight. My psychiatrist put me on Depakote ER 1,000 mg. It's only been a week, but it has been my renewed leap of faith in God that has really pulled me through to this day. Please understand you are not alone. I will keep you in my prayers.
